How to make sense of the Affymetrix Microarray Core hybridization names?
Explanation of Hybridization Name:
To accurately track the labeled target and chip subtype used for each hybridization, the Affymetrix Microarray Core assigns each hybridization a unique name. This name serves three purposes: it allows the AMC to identify the sample and it's labeling history; it assigns the investigator-designated sample name to each hybridization; and it associates each hybridization with a particular project. See a figure that visually shows how a hybridization's name is generated.
