description: 3-4 long oligonucleotides were synthesized for each of the 32,540 genes in the FGS annotation of maize (4a.53)
manufacture_protocol: Standard NimbleGen synthesis
  A subset of the probes were selected for normalization and analysis.  Two filters were applied to identify the subset of probes.  First, only genes that exhibited signal above background levels were retained.  Second, only probes that do not show substantially lower CGH signal in at least 2 genotypes were retained.  The list of probes that were used for generating the normalized data are provided in the file titles 091006_NS_Zmays_CGH_exp_subset.txt and contain the same columns as the .ndf file. The linked platform table represents only the subset of probes that were included in the final analysis (see supplementary files for complete listings).
