Recent advances in DNA and protein microarray methodology and the emerging technology of cellbased sensors have massively increased the speed and sensitivity with which we can detect viral infections. We therefore need a rapid, sensitive approach that is capable of identifying multiple viruses in parallel; this need is being addressed by the development of DNA and protein microarrays specifically designed for virus detection and identification. The authors [4] described the use of viral DNA microarrays to produce hybridization signatures of viral sequences that effectively serve as 'viral barcodes' for the identification of known, related or novel viruses. Cellular systems, such as the light-emitting B cells engineered by the Rider group [19] , while individually not having the parallel capabilities of the array, provide an extremely rapid detection system. ./cache/cord-338164-pyam9yn3.txt ./txt/cord-338164-pyam9yn3.txt
