And we've looked at everything more AIDS cases, flu, etc.

Now, this is kind of a cheap shot, because I know what the genetic sequence of all these rhinoviruses is, and I in fact designed the chip expressly to be able to tell them apart, but what about rhinoviruses that have never seen a genetic sequencer?

Well over 200 virus strains are implicated in the cause of the common cold the rhinoviruses are the most common.

In Britain, the Common Cold Unit (CCU), also known as the Common Cold Research Unit (CCRU), was set up by the civilian Medical Research Council (MRC) in 1946 on the site of a former military hospital, the Harvard Hospital, at Harnham Down near Salisbury in Wiltshire.

Common causes of ILI include the common cold and influenza, which tends to be less common but more severe than the common cold.

And so, here are four different rhinoviruses, and you can see, even with your eye, without any fancy computer pattern matching recognition software algorithms, that you can distinguish each one of these barcodes from each other.

So, here are four rhinoviruses we never knew anything about no one's ever sequenced them and you can also see that you get unique and distinguishable patterns.

And the idea is that we simply have virtual patterns, because we're never going to get samples of every virus it would be virtually impossible. But we can get virtual patterns, and compare them to our observed result which is a very complex mixture and come up with some sort of score of how likely it is this is a rhinovirus or something.
