[BioC] Multiple fields in Imagene data files

[Dick Beyer]

Hi Gordon,

For Imagene output on Amersham Codelink files for the 20K UniSet Human I chip, I know the ranges of the spot coordinates are:

Field  metarow metacol   row    col
B        1       1       1:5    1:71
A        1       1:8     1:154  1:8
C        1       1       1:5    1:71
B1       1       1       1:5    1:71
A1       1       1:8     1:154  1:8
C1       1       1       1:5    1:71


where the order of the Fields in this list is how they are laid out on the array.  Also, the spots are laid down in a hexagonal packing arrangement.

There is a 55K Human chip that will be available soon, but I don't know what the imagene output file will look like as far as the fields and such.

Hope this is helpful,
Dick
