strain: BalbC gender: female tissue: ovary age: 8 weeks old
Extracted molecule
total RNA
Extraction protocol
Total RNA was extracted with Trizol ® following manufacturer´s protocol
Label
dUTP-Cy5
Label protocol
12 µg of total RNA were primed with 1 µg of random hexamers plus 1 µg of oligo-dT at 75°C for 10 min, then reversed transcribed at 42°C for 2.5 h with 500 U SuperScript II (Invitrogen), and 0.5 mM each dATP, dCTP, dGTP, 0.2 mM dTTP, and 0.1 mM dUTP-Cy3 (or Cy5, when corresponded).

Hybridization protocol
Labeled test and reference cDNAs were mixed with 35 µg of mouse Cot1 DNA, 35 µg of poli-dA in a solution containing 0.1% SDS and 3.5X SSC. Slides were place in closed hybridization chambers and incubated for 16-20 hrs in a water bath at 65°C. Washes in 2X SSC-0.1% SDS, 1X SSC, 0.2X SSC, and 0.05X SSC were performed sequentially, 1-min each.
Scan protocol
Microarrays were quickly dried and scanned at 10-µm resolution in a ScanArray-Lite scanner (Perkin Elmer, MA). PMT was adjusted to obtain maximal signal intensities with minimal saturation

Data processing
Microarray images were saved in TIFF format and extracted as GenePix result (gpr) files using GenePix Pro III software (Molecular Devices, CA). Data was subjected to print-tip (local) Loess normalization and scale adjustment with the DNMAD tool (http://dnmad.bioinfo.cnio.es) and then filtered/imputed for missing values with the preP tool (http://prep.bioinfo.cnio.es/).

Data table header descriptions
ID_REF
VALUE
lowess normalized log2 ratio representing test/reference (Cy5/Cy3 in direct, and Cy3/Cy5 in reverse experiments). The suffixes d and r in Sample names and matrix headers stand for direct and reverse experiments, respectively. Data from reverse experiments has been multiplied by (-1.0) in the matrix data spreadsheet.
