description: Arrays of this design have barcodes that begin with 16038274 or 2538274.
  
  This array includes 6767 probes. 56 probes represent two or more genes.
  Perfect identical sequences of 27 probes are found in 2 or more genes. These 27 probes represent 71 genes in total. Details of these probes and the represented genes are included in the Platform data table and in the supplementary file 'GSE18374_dup27.txt'.
  The other 29 probes, which have IDs such as 400xx_tel-XXX, come from chromosome end regions. The ends of the 1st and 2nd chromosomes have very similar sequences in 50 more kb. Thus, some sequences in the region are found 4 times. However, because there are some deletions or duplications, the sequences are not always duplicated 4 times. So, 9 out of 29 probes actually  represent only one gene, and the other 20 probes represent 2 or more genes. These details are in the supplementary file 'GSE18374_tel29.txt'.
  Correction information for cross-hybridized probes are in the supplementary files 'GPL18374_Supplemental_procedure.txt' and 'GPL18374_Correction-probes.txt'.
