Amplification-free RNA detection with CRISPR–Cas13

The authors develop a platform (SATORI) that enables accurate and rapid detection of single-stranded RNA at a single-molecule level without a pre-amplification step. As a proof-of-concept, they demonstrate its utility in detecting the SARS-CoV-2 N gene at a minimum concentration of ~5 fM, which is m...
