Scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have developed an inexpensive "gene chip" test based on a single influenza virus gene that could allow scientists to quickly identify flu viruses, including avian influenza H5N1. The MChip may not need to be updated as frequently to keep up with the changing virus.
