## Description

This track displays the probes from the Agilent Catalog Oligonucleotide Microarrays.

Agilent's oligonucleotide CGH (Comparative Genomic Hybridization) platform enables the study of genome-wide DNA copy number changes at a high resolution. The probes on Agilent aCGH microarrays are 60-mer oligonucleotides synthesized in situ using Agilent's inkjet SurePrint technology. The probes represented on the Agilent CGH microarrays have been selected using algorithms developed specifically for the CGH application, assuring optimal performance of these probes in detecting DNA copy number changes.

The Agilent catalog CGH microarrays are printed on 1 in. x 3 in. glass slides and are available in several formats. The mouse catalog SurePrint G3 microarrays formats are the 1x1M and 4x180K. The legacy mouse catalog SurePrint HD microarrays are the 1x244K and 2x105K.

Subtracks were colored in alternating shades of green and orange to highlight track boundaries. This track consists of the following subtracks:

Description | AMADID | Samples per Slide | Biological Features | Median Probe Spacing | Gene-biased
SurePrint G3 Mouse CGH Microarray 1x1M | 027414 | 1 | 967,265 | 1.8 kb | Yes
SurePrint G3 Mouse CGH Microarray 4x180K | 027411 | 4 | 174,307 | 11 kb | Yes
SurePrint HD Mouse CGH Microarray 1x244K | 014695 | 1 | 235,188 | 7.8 kb | Yes
SurePrint HD Mouse CGH Microarray 2x105K | 014699 | 2 | 98,510 | 19 kb | Yes
