How CRISPR Can Be Used to Detect Emerging Viral Pathogens

The threat of pandemic viruses can be mitigated by developing diagnostic tests that are rapidly implementable and field deployable. Two CRISPR-based strategies, DETECTR and SHERLOCK, have been developed recently that not only meet these criteria but offer unprecedented multiplexing capabilities. This article discusses the theoretical basis of proposed and currently available viral diagnostics for educational…
