Pathogen detection arrays have also been implicated in the discovery of SARS. Urisman et al. [9] reported that although their original platform did not contain oligos designed to SARS, once the SARS genome had been published, it was possible to recalculate the energy matrix for E-Predict and find that the energy profile for SARS was the top hit (after taking those viruses with low p values and sorting by distance). We have applied DetectiV to the same dataset (GEO accession GSE546). To include oligos for SARS, we searched a database of oligo sequences on the array with sequence NC_004718 from RefSeq using NCBI blast. There were 61 oligos on the array that hit the SARS genome with greater than 80% identity across an alignment of 20 bp or more. In the analysis, these oligos were assigned as representative of two viruses: their original virus and SARS. The data were median normalized and a t-test carried out using DetectiV.
