Scheme of the spotted oligonucleotides and expected hybridization. Table S2: Scheme of the spotted oligonucleotides and expected hybridization. A) Spotting pattern of cZip on FlexiChip (Neg = Spot of water; Cy3 and Cy5 = anchor oligonucleotides prelabeled with Cy3 or Cy5). B) Example of a FlexiChip within SNPs associated with parasite resistance to anti-malarial drugs used (blue and white areas correspond to the two samples that can be diagnosed at the same time; zip41 to 48 and 89 to 96 are not used on this microarray)
