A promising COVID19 CRISPR-based (very quick) test

Posted by Serene Sargent on

UC San Francisco School of Medicine has come up with a brilliant test for COVID19 and I’m obsessed. The breakdown in Nature is highly technical, but fascinating if you’re into gene-replication and RNA.

The test takes less the 40 minutes, is highly accurate, and only takes a respiratory swab.

So, yeah.

YAY.

I make jewelry and try to read everything on the US Civil War and Reconstruction that comes out, (thereby knowing many smart people.) I know a bit of law, care about Beatles historiography and love the Nagras. Jane Austen whispered her Emma secrets to me across many miles and 200 years. ✨ My father was Bill Sargent, the Pay Per View Beatles guy. #DYRBRY
