description: GE 4x44k oligo microarray that covers 19,715 unique transcripts of the gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). Oligonucleotides, 60-mer plus a “linker”, are synthesized directly on glass slide using the Agilent’s SurePrint Tecnology; oligo design was carried out by Agilent and two non overlapping probes were designed for each ESTs cluster. The number of transcripts represented by two probes is 19,664 while 51 targets have only one probe; the total number of target probes in the platform is 39379. Both independent probes designed for the same transcript are named with an univocal ID and distinguished by suffix _1 or _2. Sequence and description of each gene (cluster) are available in the SAPD database (http://enne.cribi.unipd.it:5555/biomart/martview), where cluster ID corresponds to probe ID on the array. (Access to SAPD database will be free after publication. Login and password are now required and will be provided upon request).
