CRISPR-based Technology Can Detect Viral DNA

DETECTR relies on Cas12a, an enzyme described in 2015. Like its molecular cousin Cas9, …, Cas12a snips DNA. But instead of snipping only the DNA strand it binds, Cas12a chops other DNA, too. See it on Scoop.it, via Viruses, Immunology & Bioinformatics from Virology.uvic.ca
