Sequencing the SARS Virus

摘要

The sequence of Tor2/SARS has identified a fourth novel group of coronaviruses and provides the necessary information to develop diagnostic tests and, possibly, therapies including a vaccine. Linux has made it possible to get our work done without spending a fortune on hardware or software. Using commodity hardware has minimized depreciation loss due to long implementation times. We'll be watching for new bugs to catch, and in the meanwhile, our MySQL database is open for sequencing.
