description: The custom Array design was performed using Agilent eArray. Two 60-mer probes were designed to target each transcript from the blastula stage embryo.  Transcripts were derived from contiguous sequences that were assembled from ESTs derived from cDNA libraries.  The NCBI gene symbol and ID were subsequently mapped to each feature on the array as a deliberate means to facilitate retrieval of functional gene information at NCBI.
manufacture_protocol: The microarray was manufactured by Agilent Technologies. The details can be found in their web site
