Takara' s IntelliGene® series consists of DNA microarray sets which are arrayed at high density and immobilized with DNA fragments derived from a large number of genes on glass slides and allow quick and simple analysis of the expression of a large number of genes at the same time.

In principle, IntelliGene® DNA microarrays for eukaryote are spotted with cDNA regions including 3'-UTR without Alu sequence, and the ones for prokaryote are spotted with full-length or 3'region of ORFs. It enables to detect nucleic acids complementary to each DNA fragment on the slide by the principle of hybridization. For instance, two kinds of RNA samples derived from cells propagated under different conditions are labeled with different fluorescent dyes (Cy3 or Cy5) and subjected to competitive hybridization on a single DNA microarray. The fluorescent intensity of each dye at each spot is determined by the microarray scanner and a difference in gene expression between the two samples as an increase or decrease of one dye relative to the other.

Information about the DNAs spotted on Takara's DNA microarray products can be downloaded from our website

At the website, we provide an Array list (text file) and a GeneID file (text file). The Array list is a list of genes arrayed on the DNA microarray and their position on the slide. The accession number (database such as GenBank, UniGene) is also a provided. The GeneID file is used in data analysis with the analysis software, such as ImaGene (BioDiscovery, Inc.), and links the experimental results to the gene name.
