description: Agilent catalog probes for human (hg18) were downloaded from eArray and aligned against the chimpanzee (panTro2) and rhesus macaque(rheMac2) reference genomes using BLAT. Those probes that had at least 100% match to both reference genomes were similarity filtered based on the human reference genome (i.e. probes with only 1 perfect hit to hg18 were considered for the array).
  
  This array should not be considered as a genome-wide, unbiased copy number difference copy number discovery array. Since the probes were required to have 100% identity across human, chimpanzee, and rhesus macaque, the probes cluster together in regions of high conservation.
  
  Probe sequences and alignment locations are based on human (hg18),however, great apes and some old world monkeys can also be applied to this array.
