CRISPR/Cas12a-based detection with naked eye readout (CRISPR/Cas12a-NER) of SARS-CoV-2. (a) Schematic of Cas12a-based assay for rapid and visual nucleic acid detection. After 30 min of RT-RAA reaction, the Cas12a enzyme targets cleavage for an additional 15 min. The green fluorescent signals can be observed by the naked eye under blue light with a wavelength of 485 nm. (b) Four target gene fragments and SARS-CoV-2-specific crRNAs location on the genome. (c) Validation of crRNA specifically reacts with the target gene. (d) Time course of E gene detection with E-crRNAmix on gradient diluted input RNAs from 1e4 to 1e0 copies. (e) Sensitivity assay using E-crRNAmix to detect gradient diluted E gene RNA from 1e4 to 1e0 copies. (f) Diagnostic accuracy of CRISPR/Cas12a-NER on the diagnosis of COVID-19 clinical samples. ***: statistical significance; NS: not significance.
