description: 
  Designed and validated for genome-wide profiling of DNA copy number changes, Agilents Mouse Genome CGH Microarray 44A is the only commercial product for high-resolution, genome-wide analyses of chromosomal abnormalities in cancer and other genetics diseases in this critical model organism.  The microarray provides comprehensive genome-wide coverage with an emphasis on the most commonly studied genomic regions and cancer-related genes.  It consists of over 43,000 60-mer oligonucleotide probes, empirically validated in multiple model systems, that span coding and noncoding sequences with an average spatial resolution of 35kb.  Coupled with Agilents optimized assay protocols, this microarray allows researchers to identify and locate genetic alterations in this critical model organism with the highest resolution and precision.
  
  Arrays of this design have barcodes that begin with 16013490 or 2513490.
  
  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.
