organism: Viruses
description: This platform includes ~15,000 oligonucleotides derived from ~1200 viral species.  The best-performing viral oligonucleotides from the Viro3 platform (GPL3429) were carried over to the Viro4 platform.  The platform also includes additional viral oligonucleotides generated using a computer algorithm to obtain desired coverage of viral taxonomic groups (ViroTax, Fischer K, manuscript in preparation).  This platform also includes the following control oligonucleotides: human endogenous retroviruses, highly expressed human genes, and yeast intergenic sequences.
