description: Spotted 70-mer nucleotide array on glass.
  This platform includes ~11,000 oligonucleotides derived from ~1000 viral species. Most viral oligonucleotides were designed to represent regions of highest conservation among viral genomes. The platform also includes 488 oligonucleotides from 35 bacterial species, 20 oligonucleotides from 2 human endogenous retroviruses, and 308 control oligonucleotides including 108 OPERON oligonucleotides of highly expressed human genes. This platform is essentially the same as GPL366, except 316 new viral oligos from 32 viruses sharing little sequence homology with other viruses have been added; these oligos were selected from protein coding regions using ArrayOligoSelector software (Bozdech Z, Zhu J, et. al 2003).
