Rapid and accurate detection of the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant with a CRISPR-Cas12a reaction in the RT-qPCR Pot

Gene sequencing in back of reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is the current approach for discriminating infections produced by different severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants in the clinic. However, sequencing is often a time-consu...

However, sequencing is often a time-consuming step, which hinders the deployment of a very fast response during a pandemic.
