Ultra-High Sensitivity Viral Genome Sequencing
University of Arizona researchers have developed a novel process for rapid genome sequencing of RNA-DNA fragments, even those in archived or damaged biological samples. The process utilizes large panels of primers to amplify short RNA-DNA fragments into separate and off-set pools. These off-set pools of amplicons are used to reconstruct whole and near-whole...
