Virochip Design: Part 4

Let’s run a sample on our chip. DNA from a sample is labeled with green fluorescent molecules. We don’t know what DNA is in the sample. It may contain DNA from an unknown virus or from a previously discovered virus.

Genome maps of Virus A and Virus B from Family alpha with conserved regions alpha 1 and alpha 2 and variable regions A-1, A-2, B-1, and B-2 marked.
An open tube marked Sample 1 with an arrow that points to a 6-spot Virochip with spots marked alpha 1, alpha 2, A-1, A-2, B-1, and B-2.
