Intrinsic signal amplification by type III CRISPR-Cas systems provides a sequence-specific SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic

Summary: There is an urgent need for inexpensive new technologies that enable fast, reliable, and scalable detection of viruses. Here, we repurpose the type III CRISPR-Cas system for sensitive and sequence-specific detection of SARS-CoV-2. RNA recognition by the type III CRISPR complex triggers Cas1...
