GeneChip® S. cerevisiae Tiling 1.0R Array is a versatile whole-genome research tool:

The GeneChip® S. cerevisiae Tiling 1.0R Array is designed for identifying novel transcripts, mapping sites of protein/DNA interaction in chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments, and other whole-genome experiments¹. The S. cerevisiae 1.0R Array is a single array comprised of over 3.2 million perfect match/mismatch probe pairs tiled through the complete Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome. Genome sequence information for the design of the S. cerevisiae Tiling 1.0R Array was drawn from the October 2003 Stanford Yeast Genome Database files (www.yeastgenome.org). The array also contains probes to interrogate a 2-µm circle plasmid (NCBI Accession J01347).

Probes are tiled at an average of 5 base pair resolution, as measured from the central position of adjacent 25-mer oligos, creating an overlap of approximately 20 base pairs on adjacent probes.
