description: The 13,000-feature chicken spotted cDNA microarray ("Chicken 13k") manufactured at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) is the result of the combined efforts of the University of Delaware (Dr. Joan Burnside), FHCRC (Drs. Paul Neiman and Jeff Delrow), and the RoslinInstitute (Dr. Dave Burt).
  The array was constructed by mechanically spotting PCR products onto standard glass microscope slides. Each PCR product is represented once on the array. In addition, each array sub-grid (i.e., "block") contains spots representing 4 different Arabidopsis genes (negative control) and 1
  spot consisting of sheared chicken genomic DNA.  The clones represented in the platform description file total 15,769; however, after identifying poor quality PCR products (e.g., no detectable product, detection of multiple products), the number of useable features actually totals 13,007, including control features.
