Format of oligo files

Both of the following tab-delimited files have the same format:

Column Header(s)

Description

oligo

oligonucleotide sequence, 5' to 3'

x and y

coordinates on array

affy_ID

name given to feature by Affymetrix

start and stop

start and stop of oligo in genome

dir

orientation of oligo ("+" is the watson strand, "-" is crick)

hit

25/25 is a perfect match oligo, 24/25 is a mismatch oligo

loc

location of oligo relative to a predicted ORF or RNA (bnumber)

start and stop

start and stop of predicted ORF or RNA (bnumber) in genome

dir

orientation of predicted ORF or RNA (bnumber) in genome (">" is the watson strand, "<" is crick)

 

The original array design was by D. J. Lockhart, E. M. Johansson, and M. Mittman at Affymetrix. The incorporation of oligo BLAST results against the MG1655 genome was done by Adnan Derti at the Lipper Center for Computational Genetics.
