*The Affymetrix 57K Rice Genome GeneChip^TM has 57,381 probe sets (including 187 control probe sets); it has also been called the 51K chip, in reference to the 51,279 transcripts that Affymetrix used to construct the chip. Of these, 54,168 probe sets represent the O. sativa japonica cultivar group and 1,347 represent the O. sativa indica cultivar group.
