Example of an Exon probe search

 

In this example of an Exon probe search, you search for probes that map to exons within a specific cytoband on human chromosome 17. For general information about this type of search, see What is an Exon probe search.

  1. Click the Workspace tab.

  2. Set the application type to Expression.

  3. Click Probe.

    The Search page appears.

  4. Select Search Exon Probes.

    The Exon Probe Search page appears.

  5. In Search Type, select Cytoband.

    The Search Term(s) box becomes available.

  6. Set the rest of the criteria for the search. Folder and Species are required. These criteria further limit the list of returned probes.

Criterion

Instructions/Details

Search Term(s)

Type 17q21.31 (This is a specific cytoband on the q arm of human chromosome 17.)

Folder

(Required) Select AgilentCatalog from the list. Currently, Exon probes can only be found in the AgilentCatalog folder.

Species

(Required) Select H. sapiens.

Used in Probe Groups

Leave blank.

Used in Array Designs

Leave blank.

  1. Click Search.

    When eArray finishes the search, a Search Results pane appears, with the probes that match your search criteria. The search returns both Exon probes and standard Expression probes that map to exons. From this pane, you can take several actions on the probes in the search results:

View probe sequences, statistics, annotation, and accessions

Calculate the number of microarrays needed to accommodate the probes

Apply a probe filter to the search results

Create a new Exon probe group

Download probes

Delete probes

View probe sequences, statistics, annotation, and accessions
