description: This platform consists of a tiled oligonucleotide microarray based on the GenBank D38024 sequence. This sequence corresponds with the D4Z4 repeat array, which is associated with FSHD. The location of the sequences are provided. The 60-mer oligos overlap 50%, resulting in a 30-nt resolution.
manufacture_protocol: Oligonucleotides were spotted onto Corning UltraGAPS slides by Omnigrid 100 arrayer by the DNA Core of the University of Iowa according to their standard protocol. Oligonucleotides were designed by Rolf Turk.
