manufacture_protocol: The Arraystar HG19 piRNA array is designed for profiling of piRNAs in human germ cells. Human piRNAs are downloaded from NCBI database, and mapped to the HG19 genome sequence using UCSC Blat. piRNAs with good match are selected and on this array probes of about 23000 piRNAs are designed successfully using a duplex method. Most of the probes are replicated twice and the rest probes are printed once.
