description: Custom CDF is comprised of the same probesets as the original CDF (platform GPL1261), but some probes were removed from their probesets.
  The custom CDF was developed from the original Affymetrix CDF by removing probes that do not align to intended targets or cross-hybridize with non-homologous transcripts were removed from the respective probesets. Custom annotation were compiled by aligning remaining probe sequences to RefSeq mRNA sequences (downloaded 7/01/2013) for genes in GRC38 genome assembly.
  Annotations provided in "Gene Symbol" and "Gene Description" columns only where we have sufficient evidence of hybridization.
  Probesets lacking "Gene Symbol" and "Gene Description" annotations may be updated in the near future as our custom annotation develops further.
  We did not use annotation provided by Affymetrix at all, but we added Gene Symbol, Gene Title and Entrez Gene from Affymetrix annotation table (Release 32) pending custom-annotation of probesets in the near future.
