Finally got my Rhinovirus PCR assay sensitive enough to detect it in a cold sample of mine back from November (Cq=33.4). I assumed it was the same Rhinovirus my son had at the time (C-1) but a melt curve comparison says otherwise!
Added to the list to sequence…

I was so annoyed to have gotten sick at the time because I had to cancel a trip to California for one of my favourite conferences. I guess I can’t blame my son for sharing his germs!
