Featuring the oligo probes developed for ~23000 C. elegans genes by the Genome Sequencing Center at Washington University, the MI Ready Array provides ready access for investigators to this unique resource. Probes were selected from sequence unique to each gene with proximity to the 3' end and with a minimum of secondary structure potential. The melting temperatures (Tm) of all oligo probes were uniformly held to within +/- 3°C, based on nearest neighbor calculations.
22.490 60mer probes representing the 22,490 genes of C. elegans
124 positive, negative, and spiking controls
All probes designed to yield high hybridization specificity
