description: Microarray designed on E. coli K12 genome sequence containing 2700 probes covering 60% of the 4488 ORFs
  Used for comparative genomic hybridization of environmental isolates of E.coli
  
  Platform GPL4618 is derived from two distinct microarray designs containing 8.4K features for the 1st version and 22K features for the last version; both the 8.4K and 22K arrays contain oligos representing S.aureus AND E.coli).  The E.coli probes are EXACTLY THE SAME on both the 8.4K and 22K arrays, ie, the same number of probes, the same sequences, and the same ORFs.  The only difference concerns S.aureus probes (more probes, different sequences, and matching ORFs from newly sequenced S.aureus strains) which don't have any relevance to the GPL4618-related study and, thus, have not been included in GPL4618.
