Intrinsic Signal Amplification by Type-III CRISPR-Cas Systems Provides a Sequence-Specific Viral Diagnostic

2020-10-20

Abstract excerpt

To combat viral pandemics, there is an urgent need for inexpensive new technologies that enable fast, reliable, and scalable detection of viruses. Here we repurposed the type III CRISPR-Cas system for sensitive and sequence specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 in an assay that can be performed in one hour or less. RNA recognition by type III systems triggers Cas10-mediated polymerase activity, which simultaneously gen...
