Coronavirus group - continued

 

We have also developed an oligonucleotide-based microarray for detecting viruses of avian and mammalian species. We are taking this forward within a consortium that includes colleagues at IAH Pirbright, the Veterinary Laboratories Agency, and the Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science, Weymouth. In addition we are a contributor to the Defra Bio-Chip project and the European Union?s Epizone, a network of excellence for epizootic disease diagnosis and control .
