Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has caused a global pandemic of unprecedented proportions, overwhelming public health systems and economies across the world.
Detection of viral nucleic acid has been an important strategy in the early diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2. Four CRISPR-based protocols have been reported so far for detecting SARS-CoV-2. RNA samples with over 1×104 to 1×105 copies/mL (SHERLOCK)…
