description: 
  With a focus on well known rat genes and homologues to human and  mouse genes with useful annotation, Agilent's Whole Rat Genome Oligo Microarray provides researchers with a new tool for modeling human biology in the rat model organism. For researchers, this means they now have access to a microarray made up of relevant content that has been empirically validated by Agilent.
  
  Arrays of this design have barcodes that begin with 16013162 or 2513162.
  
  Orientation:
  Features are numbered numbered Left-to-Right, Top-to-Bottom as scanned by an Agilent scanner (barcode on the left, DNA on the back surface, scanned through the glass), matching the FeatureNum output from Agilent's Feature Extraction software.
  
  The ID column represents the Agilent Feature Extraction feature number.
  
  Rows and columns are numbered as scanned by an Axon Scanner (barcode on the bottom, DNA on the front surface).
  
  To match data scanned on an Axon scanner, use the RefNumber column contained in the Agilent-provided GAL file as the ID_REF column in sample submissions.
  
  *** A different version of this platform with the Agilent Probe names in the ID column is assigned accession number GPL7289.
