CRISPR-Cas3-based diagnostics for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus

CRISPR-based diagnostics (CRISPR-dx), including the Cas12-based DETECTR and Cas13-based SHERLOCK Class 2 CRISPRs, have been used to detect the presence of DNA or RNA from pathogens, such as the 2009 pandemic influenza virus A (IAV) and the 2019 novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Here, we describe the col...

Sumario:CRISPR-based diagnostics (CRISPR-dx), including the Cas12-based DETECTR and Cas13-based SHERLOCK Class 2 CRISPRs, have been used to detect the presence of DNA or RNA from pathogens, such as the 2009 pandemic influenza virus A (IAV) and the 2019 novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Here, we describe the collateral single-stranded DNA cleavage with Class 1 type I CRISPR-Cas3 and highlight its potential for development as a Cas3-mediated rapid (within 40 min), low-cost, instrument-free detection method for SARS-CoV-2. This assay, which we call Cas3-Operated Nucleic Acid detectioN (CONAN), not only detects SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples, but also offers specific detection of single-base-pair mutations in IAV variants. This tool allows rapid and accurate point-of-care testing for patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2 or drug-resistant IAV infections in hospitals.
