Recent Publications

The third generation PhyloChip assay is the result of more than 10 years of development. The following publications describe the technology development over the years and highlight applications where the technology has been used.Much of the development work on has focused on probe selection, the assay and analytical algorithms and has more probes, representing more bacteria, and more control sequences for more comprehensive coverage, improved sensitivity, and enhanced built-in quantification and quality control.
