description: The Glyco v1 array was designed in 2001 and consists of 3' probesets targeting genes coding for glycosyl transferases, carbohydrate binding proteins, glycan degradation enzymes, nucleotide sugar transporters, mucins, adhesion molecules, chemokines, cytokines, growth factors and their receptors, interleukins and their receptors and proteoglycans. In addition, a set of "housekeeping" and control genes are included on the array. The array contains probe set for both mouse and human gene sequences and can be use to analyze RNA from either species.
  
  Most of the human probe sets on the Glyco v1 array were taken directly from the commercial U133A,B human array although a substantial number of the probesets were custom designed by Affymetrix from accessions for genes not well represented by the U133A,B. At the time, the Mouse 430 array had not yet been released by Affymetrix so mouse probesets were all custom designed by Affymetrix for this array  using the U133A,B design algorithms. In most cases, probesets consist of 11 probe pairs designed using the Perfect Match/Mismatch approach developed by Affymetrix.
