These results were published in the Science Advances journal today, which also demonstrated the miSHERLOCK’s capacity to identify: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma variants.
Dr de Puig added: “The ability to detect and track these variants is essential to effective public health.
“But unfortunately, variants are currently diagnosed only by nucleic acid sequencing at specialised epidemiological centres that are scarce even in resource-rich nations.”
This creation hopes to change that, which has so far proven to be effective at identifying Covid and Covid strains.
