description: Custom microarrays containing  763 50-mer oligonucleotides spotted in duplicate were prepared by MWG Biotech (High Point, NC).  Briefly, 752 genes involved in heart, liver, pancreas and neural development as well as genes identified as differentially expressed by EST counts were selected.  In addition, 11 control oligos were included. Through a bioinformatics process developed by MWG Biotech, gene-specific, Tm normalized oligos were designed.  Amine modified oligos were synthesized and spotted onto epoxy coated slides (MWG Biotech).
