GeneChip™ Canine Genome 2.0 Array

Canis familiaris is an important model organism for biomedical research of human disease conditions. The GeneChip™ Canine Genome 2.0 Array enables researchers to simultaneously interrogate 18,000 C. familiaris mRNA/EST-based transcripts and over 20,000 non-redundant predicted genes.

Sequence information for this array includes content from Canis familiaris UniGene Build #11 (April, 2005), GenBank™ mRNAs up to April 15, 2005, as well as the BROADD1 gene predictions from the boxer dog genome, downloaded from EBI on May 9, 2005. Purchasers of the array will have access to detailed sequence information via CD library files and through the online NetAffx Analysis Center.

Instrument Software Requirements

• GeneChip Scanner 3000, enabled for High-Resolution Scanning* or GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G
• GeneChip Operating Software (GCOS) v1.1.1, which contains the High-Resolution Scanning Update

*GeneChip Scanner 3000 High-Resolution Update is standard on all instruments shipped starting in September 2003 with serial number series 502. Previous versions, such as serial number series 501, will require the GeneChip Scanner 3000 High-Resolution Update, Catalog Number 00-0110, to be installed.
