manufacture_protocol: The RIKEN Frontier Human Glyco-gene Array  ver1 is  consisted of total 900 genes including genes for sugar  metabolism-, glycan modification-, glycan recognition-, and  glycosyltransferase genes and also lipid metabolism-related genes.
  300 bp cDNA fragments selected for each gene were amplified by RT-PCR  from mixture of polyA+ RNA from human tissue, and then spotted on the  slide glass by TaKaRa(Japan). The array also contains various  positive and negative control spots.
