In this paper, target pathogens are the organisms the assay was specifically designed to detect. The sets of probes that represent reference sequence selected from target pathogen genomes are referred to as a Prototype Sequence or 'ProSeq' for brevity. The set of resolved bases that result from hybridization of genomic material to a ProSeq is referred to as the hybridized sequence or 'HybSeq'. The HybSeq is split into possible subsequences or 'SubSeqs'.
