Available Arrays
All the newer version of Operon arrays contain some unknown genes (ESTs). If you want to find out more information on the genes that don't have any annotation. Please visit Operon's Oligo Microarray Database. The Oligo Microarray Database (OMAD) provides information on each probe (e.g., name, length and melting temperature) and its representative open reading frame (ORF) or gene (e.g., name, symbol and description), as well as links to public domain databases. Also available is potential cross-hybridization (X-Hyb) information based on sequence similarity of the probe to all other known genes or ORFs in the genome. This X-Hyb information can be used to provide a more in-depth analysis of the results of hybridization experiments.
Note:
- Gene annotation is based on what is provided by Operon or by the supplier of the printing set. Please be aware that not all oligos are clearly annotated. Lists are updated from public databases on a quarterly basis.

Instructions for installing GeneSpring Genome from Zip File (for GeneSpring GX 7.3):
- Download the genome zip file to your computer
- Open Genespring GX
- Select File -> Import Genespring GX Zip....
- Browse and select the zip file you just downlloaded, click on "open".
Instructions for installing GeneSpring Genome from Text File (for GeneSpring 7.0):
- Download GeneSpring Genome File from the table above.
- Click here for step-by-step instructions on importing tab-delimited genome files.
- In step 6, use the first column for 'Systematic Name' and use the GenBank column for 'GenBank Accession Number'. Uncheck 'Use column titles as annotation names'.
- We don't have sequence files, click on 'Next' in the 'Importing Genome Sequences' window.
- Call the Microarray Facility (668-1583) if you have trouble loading the Genome File.
After installing the Genome File, download annotations from GeneSpring:
- Open GeneSpring
- Select the appropriate genome
- In the 'Annotation' menu, select 'Gene spider' > 'Update annotations from Silicon Genetics...'
- Click 'Start' in the new window.
After that you also can build ontology
- Open GeneSpring
- Select the appropriate genome
- In the 'Annotation' menu, select 'Build Ontology' >
- Click 'Start' in the new window
