This document discusses detecting viral infections using microarrays. It shows microarray data that can distinguish gene expression profiles between uninfected cells and cells infected with the Lassa or Marburg viruses over time. Sensitivity and specificity metrics are calculated to evaluate how well the microarrays can identify Lassa versus Marburg infections. The next steps discussed are to use updated microarray platforms and RNA sequencing to better distinguish between the viruses and identify non-coding RNA expression.
