A tiling path is a set of fragments such that at least one fragment covers each base of the chromosome sequence. (sequencing all of the fragments on this path therefore gives the entire chromosome's sequence). 2, record 1, English, - tiling%20path

The clones represented in the tiling path are a subset of all the available clones in the BAC [bacterial artificial chromosome] library that mapped to the given chromosome arm. 3, record 1, English, - tiling%20path
