  Array name:      TB-All-Antisense
  Part Number:     510285
  Organism:        Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv
  Genome assembly: NC_000962.2
  NetAffx version: Oct 2006
  CSV version:     1.0
  
  This annotation table was derived Affymetrix CSV file TB-All-Antisense_annot.csv [Version 1.0, 2006-10-31].
  Appended README provides a guide to the contents of the CSV file containing annotations for the probe sets on the Affymetrix M. tuberculosis antisense array.
  
manufacture_protocol: The TB-All-Antisense GeneChip(R) array was manufactured by Affymetrix in 1998 for gene expression analysis of the M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain. This was a PM/MM design which covers all ORFs and intergenic regions described by GenBank as of Oct 1998.  3924 ORFs and 738 intergenic regions and their reverse complements are interrogated with 20 probe pairs each (25mers). There is a total of 118,180 probe pairs on the chip.
  
  Note that this array is not the same as the M. tuberculosis array available through the Affymetrix NimbleExpress(TM) Made-To-Order program (array name: M_tubercul530104):

  The newer NimbleExpress array was designed using a more recent version of the M. tuberculosis genome, though most of the probe sets should detect largely the same set of expressed genes as the older TB-All-Antisense array.
