description: Array containing 1353 oligonucleotide probes representing rat liver genes Including 39 Replicas and 16 Arabidopsis controls. Information Sources: In NCBI/Genbank (keyword: tissue type = liver) only 272 genes had been assigned as liver specific; MWG Biotech has sequenced 1166 genes derived from libraries of liver tissue taken from 12 week old rats of different strains. Therefore, these genes, which are accessible in Genbank, could be assigned to be expressed in rat liver; Additionally, 187 genes sequenced by MWG and identified by protein homology to human or murine sequences are not accessible in Genbank (88 genes are derived from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP); 65 genes come from normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY); 34 genes can be found in both strains).
