robe ID (library plate and well) identifies sample (clone) in stock plates. escription of the probe based on top (best) BLASTX alignment. old change is the fold change of Lowess intensity-dependent normalized log2 ratio of valid background-corrected means averaged between valid replicates. Only entries displaying an expression change greater than 2-fold and in either A. phagocytophilum or A. marginale infected cells are shown. Positive and negative values correspond to genes upregulated and downregulated in infected cells, respectively. D is the standard deviation determined from the normalized average log2 ratio but determined on data from valid spots only.
