description: A custom microarray (Illumina Sentrix Array Matrix or SAM) was designed and constructed to interrogate the expression of the selected genes in addition to many other genes relevant to neural function. The total number of unique probes included in the microarray was 1,379. The arrays consist of randomly assembled arrays of 3-micron bead features, each coated with a 50-nucleotide DNA probe. All the features are quality controlled by a sequential hybridization process called array decoding. Two unique probes were designed for each target sequence, and each probe was included on the array an average of 30 times.
