description: The array elements were selected from cDNA clones derived from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of bovine spleen and normalized placenta libraries. The ESTs representing distinct genes were determined via sequence similarity searches against human UniGene sequences using an E value of e10-5 as a threshold. The CattleArray3800 contains positive expression controls: beta actin (ACTB); phosphoglycerate kinase 1; (PGK1); hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and beta-2-microglobulin (B2M). Two exogenous plant genes, soy rubisco small chain 1 (RBS1) and chlorophyll ab binding protein (CAB) can be used as negative or spiking controls.
