Researchers at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, San Francisco, and collaborators have warned against only targeting one viral gene when carrying out reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
The team conducted a study showing that a mutation had arisen in the N gene of the virus that impaired the annealing of a commonly used RT-PCR primer.
