organism: Triticum aestivum
manufacture_protocol: The Triticum aestivum 17K 70mer oligo microarray was developed with the international collaboration of three partners, the Genome Canada/Genome Prairie/Genome Quebec program Functional Genomics of Abiotic Stress (FGAS), the USDA-ARS, Genomics and Gene Discovery Research Unit, Albany California, and the Australian Centre Plant Functional Genomics.   The source sequences are primarily derived from the NSF wheat EST and FGAS programs. The 70bp oligonucleotide probes were synthesized by Qiagen (Valencia, CA) and spotted on Corning UltraGAPS II slides by Microarrays Inc. (www.microarrays.com). The design of the 70mer oligonucleotides was based on an internal project EST assembly that used all available EST data at the time, which means that each contig contains information from many different ESTs.
