  The GeneChip® S. pombe Tiling 1.0FR Array is designed for identifying novel transcripts, mapping sites of protein/DNA interaction in chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments, and other whole-genome experiments.
  
  The S. pombe 1.0FR Array is a single array comprised of over 1.2 million perfect match/mismatch probe pairs tiled through the complete Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome. Sequence information for chromosomes 1 to 3 and telomere clones was drawn from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (September 2004). Probes are tiled for both strands of the genome at an average of 20 base pair resolution, as measured from the central position of adjacent 25-mer oligos, creating an overlap of approximately 5 base pairs on adjacent probes.
