SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2006--Affymetrix Inc. (Nasdaq:AFFX) announced today the launch of the GeneChip(R) Human Tiling 1.0R Array Set and Mouse 1.1R Array Set, the only commercially available microarrays for whole-genome transcript mapping. These new arrays look far beyond the known protein-coding genes to deliver the most detailed and unbiased view of the entire human and mouse genomes, enabling researchers to map transcription factors and other protein binding domains. Recent scientific publications using Affymetrix tiling arrays have uncovered broad transcriptional activity in large regions of the genome that were once considered “junk” DNA.
