The invention is particularly useful when there is little or no information about the genome of the cell line being studied, because it provides methods for identifying consensus sequences for known and previously undiscovered genes, and for designing oligonucleotide probes to the identified consensus sequences. Additionally, when the array is to be used to determine optimal conditions for expression of a transgene by the cell line, the invention teaches methods of including oligonucleotide probes to transgene sequences in the array. The invention also provides methods of using the array to identify genes and related pathways involved with the induction of a particular cell line phenotype. The invention also provides novel polynucleotides of undiscovered genes (i.e., a gene that had not been sequenced and/or shown to be expressed by CHO cells) and novel polynucleotides involved with the induction of a particular cell phenotype, e.g., increased survival when grown under stressful culture conditions, increased transgene expression, decreased production of an antigen, etc. These novel polynucleotides are termed novel CHO sequences and differential CHO sequences, respectively. The invention also provides genetically engineered expression vectors, host cells, and transgenic animals comprising the novel nucleic acid molecules of the invention. The invention additionally provides antisense and RNAi molecules to the nucleic acid molecules of the invention.
