SoNG20K. Annotation of the SoNG 20 K array. standard GAL file format describing each spot on the 20 K microarray, 20215 rows × 6 columns. Rows 1–55 describe block organization. Rows 56-20215 describe the 20160 features (spots) on the array (see Table 4). Columns 1–3 define feature position. Column four gives the unique identifier for the feature. Column five gives the "custom annotation" name for that spotted DNA, based on the Build 3 annotation (described in Tables 3). Column six identifies the source of the information used for that custom annotation.
