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. Here, we propose to run a CRISPR-Cas12a reaction after completing the RT-qPCR and in the very same pot to detect with high specificity genetic marks characterizing variants of concern. A crRNA was appropriately designed to detect the S gene of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 variant. A significant response with >20-fold dynamic range was obtained for the Omicron BA.1 S gene, while the Delta S gene did not produce any detectable signal. The sensitivity of the method was analyzed with a series of diluted samples and different Cas12a nucleases. A correlation between the RT-qPCR CT values and the CRISPR-Cas12a reaction signals was observed. Variant discrimination with the CRISPR-Cas12a reaction was possible in some minutes with high accuracy from patient samples. In conclusion, CRISPR-Cas systems seem ready to be exploited in the clinic to boost personalized diagnoses and accelerate epidemiological surveillance in a cost-effective way.Work supported by Generalitat Valenciana (GVA-COVID19/2021/036), Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (PDC2022−133941-I00; cofunded by NextGenerationEU), CRUE andBanco Santander (Fondo Supera Covid-19), CSIC PTI SaludGlobal (NextGenerationEU Fund, regulation 2020/2094), andIDIVAL (INNVAL21/13).Peer reviewedAmerican Chemical SocietyGeneralitat ValencianaAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Conferencia de Rectores de las Universidades EspañolasBanco SantanderCSIC - Plataforma Temática Interdisciplinar del CSIC Salud Global (PTI Salud Global)European CommissionConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (España)Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (España)Rodrigo, Guillermo [0000-0002-1871-9617]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202420242024info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/361532https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85190167695reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
