Search for eArrayXD libraries

 

eArrayXD libraries are bait libraries that you create in the SureSelect Target Enrichment application type in eArrayXD, the desktop version of eArray that is available within Agilent Genomic Workbench Standard Edition. See eArrayXD and the eArray Web site. Only libraries that have a status of Submitted are available in this kind of search. As with all libraries of this status, you cannot edit them, but you can view, download, or request a quote for them.

  1. Click the Workspace tab. Searches for eArrayXD libraries are not available in a collaboration.

  2. Set the application type to SureSelect Target Enrichment.

  3. Note:
    • Searches for eArrayXD microarray designs are discussed in a separate topic. See Search for eArrayXD microarray designs.

    • eArrayXD does not support library sets or the SureSelect RNA Enrichment application type.

  1. Click the Libraries tab, then select eArrayXD Libraries.

    The eArrayXD Library search page appears.

  2. Enter any of the following search criteria. All are optional.

Parameter

Instructions/Details

Library Name

Type all or part of a name of an eArrayXD library.

Keywords

Type all or part of a keyword, or multiple keywords separated by commas.

Species

To select one or more species, follow these steps:

  1. Click Select and Add.
    A species selection page opens in a new window.

  2. Under Species Category List, in Name, type some or all of the desired species name, then click Search. To return a list of all available species, leave Name blank.
    A search results pane appears, with species that match the name you typed. If they appear, you can use the Pages links to go to a different page of results.

  3. Click the name of the desired species to select it. You can select more than one species on a page.

  4. Click Add.
    eArray transfers the species to the Selected Species list.

    To transfer all of the species on all of the pages, click Add All, then in the dialog box that appears, click OK.

    To start over, click Remove All. To remove species, select them in the Selected Species list, then click Remove.

  5. Click Done.
    The selected species appear(s) on the search page in Species. Multiple species appear in pipe-separated format.

  6. Note: To retrieve libraries for which no species is designated, leave the Species search criterion blank.

ELID

(Enrichment Library ID) Type the ELID of the desired eArrayXD library, or multiple ELIDs separated by pipe "|" characters. To upload a file of ELIDs, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare a plain text file that contains a list of the desired ELIDs. Separate entries with new line (return) characters.

  2. Click Upload.
    A file upload window appears.

  3. Click Browse.
    A Choose file dialog box appears.

  4. Select the desired file, then click Open.

  5. In the file upload window, click Upload File.
    eArray uploads the selected file. The IDs appear in pipe-separated format in ELID.

The ELID of a library is its unique Agilent identification number.

Created by

Type the name of the library owner whose eArrayXD libraries you want to find.

Date Submitted

Enter a range of dates. In From and To, click calendar_icon.gif, then select the desired dates from the calendars that appear.

Length

Currently, Agilent supports a bait length of 120 nucleotides.

Folder Name

By default, eArray searches for libraries in all folders accessible to you (the All option). To limit your search to a specific folder, select the desired folder from the list. The list contains only the folders to which you have access. To include all of a folder's subfolders in your search, mark Include Subfolders.

  1. Click Search.

    A Search Results pane appears with the eArrayXD libraries that match your search criteria. You can do several things with the results:
