Amplification-free Detection of Zoonotic Viruses Using Cas13 and Multiple CRISPR RNAs

Caitlin H. Lamb, Silke A. Riesle‐Sbarbaro, Joseph B. Prescott, Aartjan J.W. te Velthuis, Cameron Myhrvold, Benjamin E. Nilsson-Payant

This study develops an amplification-free CRISPR-Cas13 assay for detecting zoonotic viruses and finds that multiple crRNAs improve sensitivity for some viruses but not others.
