description: The CDMC_Drosophila_7k3 array is a primarily cDNA-based Drosophila melanogaster glass microarray.  The array features 5,756 Berkeley Drosophila genome Project cDNAs, 1,078 NIH Testis cDNAs (Andrews et al., 2000) and 546 gene fragments that were amplified from genomic DNA, together representing approximately 50% of the predicted genes in D. melanogaster.  The array is produced by the Canadian Drosophila Microarray Centre, located at the University of Toronto, and is available for distribution to academic labs.
  
  The arrays are printed on CMT-GAPS II substrates (Corning Inc., Acton, MA) using a SpotArray 72 microarrayer (Perkin Elmer, Boston, MA).  The array features 16,896 spots in total, representing ~6,900 unique genes and numerous controls.  The spots are approximately 125 microns in diameter and are spaced at 180 micron centre-to-centre distances.  Printing conditions and post-print treatments are as described earlier (Neal et al., 2003).
