Using CRISPR for Covid-19 Surveillance: Virologists at the Sabeti Lab Discuss their Test Development
Apr 13, 2020
Catherine Freije and Cameron
Myhrvold are working on a test for the Covid-19
virus that will provide faster results than what's currently in
use.
They explain
- Why more prevalent and faster testing is vital in fighting the virus,
- How the development of a CRISPR-based diagnostic test, which primarily uses a nasal swab...
