Orientation Settings and Controls Dye Intensity Controls Positive Controls Negative Controls Below is a brief description of the Human OneArray experimental control features and instructions of how to extract this information for analysis. SimpleMeasure is a free, small, Java-based applet designed to automatically extract this data and generate graphs similar to those below. The program can be downloaded here. Orientation Settings and Controls Orientation Grid Alignment Mark (OGAM)   Probe ID Number: PH_c_0000089   Purpose: To define the orientation of the scanned image   OGAM is a Cy3/Cy5 labeled 60-mer oligonucleotide probe designed from an alien sequence that does not cross-hybridize with human targets. It is located on top of the upper left corner of the print region and serves as an orientation landmark for template registration as different scanners may have different image orientation output formats.   Corner Grid Alignment Marks (CGAM)   Probe ID Number: PH_c_0000072   Purpose: To define the corners of the scanned image, and to assist with image analysis.   CGAMs are mixtures of Cy3/Cy5 labeled 60-mer oligo designed from an alien sequence that does not cross-hybridize with human targets. CGAMs are located at the four corners of the image and serve as the orientation landmarks for auto or manual grid alignment under Cy3 (532 nm) or Cy5 (635 nm) scanning channel. Figure 1: Human OneArray OGAM and CGAM Positions Figure 2: Human OneArray GAM Positions Grid Alignment Mark (GAM)   Probe ID Number: PH_c_0000001   Purpose: To assist in adjusting the scanner settings; to monitor the scanner performance across the scanned region.   GAM control probe is a Cy3 labeled 60-mer oligonucleotide probe designed from an alien sequence that does not cross-hybridize with human targets. More than 90 GAM features are evenly distributed across the arrayed area, and these features can be excited by a 532 nm laser without hybridization. GAM probes can serve as orientation or grid-alignment landmarks.   Analysis Instructions:   Convert scanned data into Excel format Sort data by column ‘ID’ Copy ~90 rows of data with ID PH_c_0000001 Obtain the median, mean, and standard deviation of the signals in the ‘F532 Median’ and ‘F532 Mean’ columns.   Expected Outcome: When the suggested scanner settings from the OneArray User Guide are used, saturated or near-saturated signal should be observed for all GAM probes. Dye Intensity Controls Cy3 and Cy5 Intensity Ladder   Probe ID Numbers: Cy3 Intensity Ladder PH_c_0000002 to PH_c_0000009 Cy5 Intensity Ladder PH_c_0000010 to PH_c_0000017 Purpose: To assist in adjusting the scanner settings. Cy3 and Cy5 Intensity Ladder probes are Cy3- or Cy5-labeled 60-mer oligonucleotide probes designed from an alien sequence that do not cross-hybridize with human targets. Eight dilutions, and three to six replicates of each dilution can be excited by a 532 nm(Cy3) or 635 nm (Cy5) laser without hybridization. Analysis Instructions: Convert scanned data into Excel format Sort data by column name ‘ID’ Copy ~90 rows of data with IDs above. Obtain the mean of the 3-6 replicates signals in the ‘F532 Median’ and ‘F532 Mean’ columns. Expected Outcome: When the suggested scanner settings from the OneArray User Guide are used, saturated or near-saturated signal should be observed for probes PH_c_0000008 and PH_c_0000016. Scanner settings should be adjusted so that the signal increases linearly from the lowest concentration unit in order to observe the saturation level.

IHCs contain a mixture of probes from 58 robustly expressed housekeeping genes that serve as built-in positive controls. The probe mixture is dispensed at a fixed concentration, and more than 95 IHC features are evenly distributed across the arrayed area. NOTE: Occasionally, some spots will be missing or misaligned, so the intensity results can be removed for a more accurate average. Figure 4: IHC + IHL Output Intrinsic Hybridization Ladder (IHL)   Probe ID Numbers: PH_c_0000026 to PH_c_0000033 Purpose: To monitor the overall quality of sample processing and hybridization efficiency. The IHL probes are dispensed in serial dilutions of IHCs. The data extracted from IHL after target hybridization can be used to construct a hybridization intensity response curve depending on different dilutions of the probe mixture, which serves as an indicator of the overall consistency of sample processing and hybridization stringency. Analysis Instructions Convert scanned data into Excel format. Sort data by column name ‘ID’. Copy rows of data with IDs above. Obtain the mean of the 3-6 replicate signals in the ‘F532 Median’ and ‘F635 Median’ columns. Expected Outcome: When the suggested scanner settings from the OneArray User Guide are used, saturated or near-saturated signal should be observed for all IHC probes. Scanner settings should be adjusted so that the signal increases linearly from the lowest to highest concentration IHL. Intrinsic Target Quality Control (ITQC)   Probe ID Numbers: PH_c_0000038 to PH_c_0000065 Purpose: To monitor the length of the targets for assessment of the quality of sample integrity and processing. Four probes per gene were selected from seven robustly expressed housekeeping genes. For each gene, one probe is designed from regions of 300-600 bp, 900-1200 bp, 1500-1800 bp, and 2100-2400 bp from the 3’ end of each transcript. Analysis Instructions: Convert scanned data into Excel format. Sort data by column name ‘ID’. Copy rows of data with IDs PH_c_0000038 to PH_c_0000065. Obtain the mean of the 3-6 replicates signals in the ‘F532 Median’ and ‘F635 Median’ column. Expected Outcome: When high quality targets are used, signals from all the probes can be observed. It is common to observe higher signals from probes designed closer to the 3’ end of the transcript.

Sequence information for ArrayControl™ RNA SPIKE #1-8 from Ambion, Inc., has been licensed for use with Human OneArray microarrays. Using the sequence information, eight 60-mer oligonucleotide probes are designed to complement the respective RNA SPIKES. These probes are alien probe sequences that do not cross-hybridize with human genomic probes on the Human OneArray DNA microarray.

ETQC probes are alien probe sequences that do not cross-hybridize with human genomic probes on Human OneArray DNA microarray. The targets to these probes can be prepared separately as RNA containing poly-A tail and spiked into the experimental RNA sample to monitor target preparation quality and determine the sensitivity of the hybridization reaction.
