摘要

A simple method is proposed in this work for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA based on a functional RNA/DNA circuit. By ingeniously integrating the nucleic acid circuit technology and CRISPR/cas12a system, this method can achieve femtomolar detection of the target RNA in one step and successfully distinguish COVID-19 positive cases from clinical samples, proving its great potential for clinical application.
