Use of consensus sequences for the design of high density resequencing microarrays: the influenza virus paradigm

Stewart Cole

BACKGROUND: A resequencing microarray called PathogenID v2.0 has been developed and used to explore various strategies of sequence selection for its design. The part dedicated to influenza viruses was based on consensus sequences specific for one gene gene ...
