Virochip Design: Part 14

Genome maps of Virus A and Virus B from Family alpha and Virus C and Virus D from Family beta. Conserved regions alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, and beta 2 and variable regions A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, C-1, C-2, D-1, and D-2 are marked.

Let’s scale up from 6 spots to 12 spots. On this chip, viruses of a second family, family β, are represented on the chip by a different set of sequences.

A 12-spot Virochip with two blue spots marked alpha 1 and alpha 2, four light blue spots marked A-1, A-2, B-1, and B-2, two yellow spots marked beta 1 and beta 2, and four purple spots marked C-1, C-2, D-1, and D-2.
