Development and evaluation of a CRISPR-Cas13a system-based diagnostic for hepatitis E virus.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the leading cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. HEV RNA detection is the gold standard for HEV infection diagnosis and PCR methods are commonly used but are usually time-consuming and expensive, resulting in low detection efficiency and coverage, especially in low-income areas. Here, we developed a simpler and more accessible HEV RNA detection method based on...
