          In this DNA re-sequencing
                    microarray, each row is 488 oligos wide,
                and there are 320 rows, arranged as 64 blocks. In each
                block, four oligos represent each of the possible A, C, G, or Ts at each position,
                and a fifth row serves as a spacer. Both the sense and
                antisense strands are included, so that every base is
                represented twice (click here for a magnified
                  view). A 15-Kb array thus includes 8 x15,000
                features: the current generation of arrays include two million oligos.
