description: The microarray design included two components. The first involved the tiling of 400,000 bp of each of three genomic regions, corresponding to the colour pattern loci HmAc, HmBD and HmYb/Sb/N. The second corresponded to a whole-genome gene expression array. The HmAc locus was tiled with 6,560 probes staggered every 10bp on average, the tiling of the HmBD locus involved 10,716 probes distanced every 10bp on average and the HmYb locus tiling comprised 9,979 probes at 10bp distanced on average. The whole-genome gene expression array, on the other hand, was composed of a total of 107,898 probes targeting (i) each annotated gene in the H. melpomene genome version 1.1 and (ii) each transcript not included in the genome annotation but predicted as such by RNA-seq evidence.
  Each probe was 60 bp.
