Metagenomics and the case of the deadly hamster 2008-06-09 .txt text/plain 2836 172 49 1 The authors then tried panmicrobial microarray analysis with 29,455 oligonucleotide probes reactive to known vertebrate viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, 5 and after drawing a blank with all these studies, they resorted to brute sequencing of all RNA in the infected tissue to discover the new virus. 8 In humans, metagenomic analysis has been used to study viral communities in blood and respiratory secretions, 6 to differentiate bacterial species in gut flora, 9 and to catalog the collective DNA and RNA viral species in stool samples of healthy subjects 10, 11 and patients with diarrhea. 16 They would have saved a considerable amount of time and effort if they could have sequenced RNA from a few "non-A non-B virus" infected livers (assuming that they could have had access to human genome data that were not available at the time). ./cache/cord-331343-qzvwwca9.txt ./txt/cord-331343-qzvwwca9.txt
