                 * Chicken 13k Annotation Release Notes *
                 ****************************************

Ch13_anno_v3.0; released 3/13/2007
----------------------------------------
* Updated BLAT alignments using the May 2006 Genome Assembly.  The Method
for making alignment placements has changed.  Please refer to the annotation
README file for additional information.

* Changed the 'TIGR' in the column header labels of 'TIGR Assigned TC' and 
'TIGR TC Annotation' to 'TGI' - which represents 'The Gene Index.'  The data 
in these columns has also been updated using GgGI Release 11.0.

* UniGene identifiers have been updated using Gallus gallus UniGene Build 32.

* Removed the 'BLAST Determined Annotation' column, which contained data in 
cases where a clone was not associated with a TC in TIGR's GgGI, but rather 
had an annotation derived locally by using BLAST with those sequences against 
GgGI.


Chicken13_anno_v2.1; released 6/12/2006
----------------------------------------
* Added a column of UniGene identifiers, which were determined by GenBank 
accession number.


Chicken13_anno_v2.01; released 9/23/2005
----------------------------------------
* Removed PCR Amp Code column, as this column is now present in each gal file.

* Updated GenBank Accession numbers for Arabidopsis negative control spots.


Chicken13k_anno_v2.0; released 4/22/2005
----------------------------------------
* Added 4 columns pertaining to the chromosome location of clones, using BLAT
   against the February 2004 build of the UCSC Gallus gallus genome assembly.

* Added 1 column of text identifying the libraries from which clones were
   procured; thanks to Dr. Joan Burnside for compiling the information for
   this column.

* Updated annotation information based on results obtained either by using
   BLAST against Release 10 of TIGR's Gallus gallus Gene Index or by using
   TIGR's on-line Est_Annotator utility for that Gene Index.

* Modified column header labels for some of the already existing fields.

* Acquired GenBank Accession numbers for 336 U.Delaware clones that had been
   lacking accessions in Chicken13k_anno_v1.0

* Incorporated GenBank Accessions numbers for 860 FHCRC and UDEL clones
   submitted for the first time to NCBI Entrez.

* Modified GenBank Accession numbers for 13 FHCRC clones that had been
   re-submitted to NCBI Entrez:

* Corrected Source Clone Names for 22 UDEL clones (appending '.f's).


Chicken13k_anno_v1.0; released 11/15/2003
-----------------------------------------
* Initial public release of the 15,000+ featured cDNA microarray for Chicken,
   manufactured by the Genomics Resource, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research
   Center.
