description: This platform version is based on gene-models (probe-sets) from Maize RefGen V1(4a.53) using the expression probes only.  The original design is a custom NimbleGen design which used 385k probes. The array design has 330803 expression probes and 58339 tiling probes.  Zea maize design from customer-provided regions with expression and tiling probes were placed into two different containers: 330803 expression probes (5 probes per gene, no additional replicates) and  58339 tiling probes (probe spacing of 45bp).
