*P, probe; F, forward primer; R, reverse primer; NA, not applicable. All sequences were purchased from Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. (Coralville, IA, USA). Probe sequences were modified with an amine group and C6 linker at the 5´ position, and these were used to immobilize the probe on microspheres. Synthetic complementary targets of probes and reverse primers were modified with Cy3 at 5´ position as a reporter for array hybridization.
†Sequences are from the noncoding region between 2 open reading frames, BMEI1658 and BMEI1659.
‡Sequences were obtained by sequencing by the collaborator and are not available from GenBank.
