description: An Agilent C. elegans-specific microarray was custom-designed using Agilent catalog probes. It contained 42862 probes targeting 28164 unique genes, among which 76.6% or 21562 genes had a single probe, 23.4% or 6596 genes had 2 to 12 probes, and the remaining 6 genes had 13, 15, 20, 26, 27 and 37 probes, respectively. These probes were assembled from three existing Agilent catalog probe groups: PGRID51529TDT (512 probes), PGRID51764TDT (50), and PGRID51763TDT (42300). These 60-mer oligo probes, together with 1319 control probes, were printed in situ on a 364-row by 164-column array grid in an 8-array-per-slide format, yielding a 70% occupancy of 62976 available spots.
