description: Human Genome CGH Microarray 44A is a high-resolution, high performance 60-mer oligonucleotide-based microarray that contains over 40,000 probes sourced from the NCBI genome (Build 34).  The probes, empirically validated in multiple model systems, span coding and noncoding sequences of the human genome with an average spatial resolution of 35kb.  Coupled with Agilents optimized assay protocols and CGH Analytics software, this microarray enables genome-wide survey and molecular profiling of genomic aberrations (i.e. copy number changes) on a single chip.
  
  Arrays of this design have barcodes that begin with 16012750 or 2512750.
  
  Orientation:
  Features are numbered numbered Left-to-Right, Top-to-Bottom as scanned by an Agilent scanner (barcode on the left, DNA on the back surface, scanned through the glass), matching the FeatureNum output from Agilent's Feature Extraction software.
  
  The ID column represents the Agilent Feature Extraction feature number.
  
  Rows and columns are numbered as scanned by an Axon Scanner (barcode on the bottom, DNA on the front surface).
  
  To match data scanned on an Axon scanner, use the RefNumber column contained in the Agilent-provided GAL file as the ID_REF column in sample submissions.
  
  *** A different version of this platform with the Agilent Probe names in the ID column is assigned accession number GPL11069.
