The nanopore optofluidic chip used in the new diagnostic system, with a PCR thermocycler in the background for comparison. The new system could easily fit into a researcher’s lab or clinician’s office ...

Scientists track and monitor the circulation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, using methods based on a laboratory technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Also used as the “gold ...

Researchers have modified a gene editing tool to serve as a highly sensitive diagnostic test for the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. An engineered CRISPR-based method that finds RNA from SARS-CoV-2, ...

Symptomatic or viral rebound is estimated to occur in 0.8% to 32% of Paxlovid recipients and 1.1% to 31% of those who receive ...

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv preprint* server, researchers established a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing program ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — You've heard a lot of talk about genomic sequencing: It's the process used in labs to detect variants of COVID-19 from PCR test samples. Some social media users falsely claim it's ...
