Community Oligo Sets

Several oligo sets are available in our facility for the UCSF community to use. The Operon S. cerevisiae AROS and YBOX oligo sets, the Invitrogen Mouse Exonic Evidence Based Oligo (MEEBO) set, and the Invitrogen Human Exonic Evidence Based Oligo (HEEBO) set. UCSF users have free access to these oligo sets. Non-UCSF academic users are required to pay a fee to use the sets. Currently, the non-UCSF academic price for using the S. cerevisiae AROS/YBOX set is $1000 for a 261-slide printrun or $500 for a 130-slide printrun. In addition, all users are required to replace any plates damaged during the course of their work. Please contact Jennifer Shock if you would like access to one of these oligo sets.

Stanford S. cerevisiae Godlist - S. cerevisiae oligo IDs and annotations used by Stanford University. While the oligo sets are the Operon AROS and YBOX oligo sets, the Stanford group has used a slightly different nomenclature for naming the genes. If you have been using arrays printed by Stanford (Oligo Print 1 and Print 2), then this list may be helpful when you prepare to publish your data.
UCSF S. cerevisiae Godlist - Combination of AROS and YBOX oligos being printed at UCSF. Document incorporates all of the information in the Operon AROS and YBOX annotations as of 8/31/2007. It also connects the Stanford unique IDs to the Operon unique IDs.

Community Microarrays

S. cerevisiae microarrays are often available in the CAT for UCSF community members. Each lab is allowed 20 arrays at no charge. Once the lab exceeds 20 arrays, then the lab's name goes on a list of potential volunteers to help with the next printrun. When the current printrun runs low, the lab will be contacted about helping with the next printrun. If you would like more information, please contact Jennifer Shock.
