?Microarray - WormBase_Model:Microarray: information about a microarray chip.

Existing object - ?Microarray : Affymetrix_C.elegans_Tiling_Array_1.0R

?Microarray_experiment - WormBase_Model:Microarray_experiment: description of an experiment performed using a microarray.

?Condition - WormBase_Model:Condition: description of an experimental sample used by an microarray experiment.

?Microarray_results - WormBase_Model:Microarray_results: description of direct results for a 'spot' (TAR?) per ?Microarray_experiment.

Use Microarray_results to store TAR. What should be the Sequence_info for a TAR?
