Create new probe group using Simple Tiling

 

Simple Tiling creates Expression type probes that span uploaded target sequences at even intervals. For a general discussion of the process, see About Simple Tiling. You can use the probes that Simple Tiling generates to create a new probe group. The new probe group has the same name as the Simple Tiling job.

Before you can create a new probe group with Simple Tiling results, you must set up a Simple Tiling job, and submit it to Agilent for processing. When your job is finished, it appears in the Search Results pane on the Simple Tiling page with a status of Completed. eArray lets you create a probe group with the following procedure once for each set of Simple Tiling results. If you need more than one copy or version of this probe group, use the Copy Probe Group function.

  1. Click the Workspace tab.

  2. Set the application type to Expression.

  3. Click Probe > Simple Tiling.

    The Simple Tiling page appears. A search results pane appears at the bottom of the page that lists your current Simple Tiling jobs.

  4. In the Actions column of the Search Results pane, next to the desired completed job, click Create Probe Group.

    A message informs you that you will receive an e-mail when your probe group has been created. After you receive this e-mail, you can then search and browse for the new probe group, and use it in a new microarray design or set. The new probe group has the same name as the corresponding Simple Tiling job.

  5. Click Exit.
