FIG. 1.

Validation of the animal retrovirus-specific microarray (pet chip). Genomic DNAs (100 ng) derived from avian (Gallus gallus domesticus) and mammalian (Rattus rattus, Mus musculus, Felis catus, Sus scrofa domestica, and Papio hamadryas) genera were amplified with primers using the standardized amplification protocol. The names and corresponding grid locations of animal retrovirus-specific oligonucleotides (capture probes) are shown in the top panel. Grid locators represented by a spotted Cy3-labeled arbitrary oligonucleotide are designated Cy3. For the origins and identities of all capture probes, see Table 2.
