For analysis of data from human samples, ignore all mouse probe set data. For analysis of mouse data, ignore all human probe set data. A custom-designed Glyco-gene Chip array that contains probe sets to monitor the expression of human and mouse transcripts relevant to the Consortium for Functional Glycomics.The following classes of genes are represented on the GLYCOv2 Gene Chip: Glycosyltransferases Glycan-binding proteins (GBP) Sulfotransferases C-type lectins Neuraminidases Nucleotide sugar synthesis and transporter proteins N-glycan biosynthesis related genes Mucins Proteoglycans Growth factors Cytokines Chemokines and Conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex genes. Many of the probe sets are represented up to three times on the array. Replicate probe sets are all indicated by a notation of the copy in the probe set ID. Available as a resource throught the Consortium of Functional Glycomics. See this URL for complete information http://web.mit.edu/glycomics/consortium/ Many of the the probe sets on this array are represented in either two or three identical copies. Probe sets with more than one copy on this array contain the text: "Copy1", "Copy2" or "Copy3" within the probe set name. The .CDF file for this array may be obtained by contacting Steven Head (shead@scripps.edu) or Timothy Gilamrtin (timgil@scripps.edu) or through the TSRI DNA Array Core Facility (http://www.scripps.edu/services/dna_array/).
