- CRISPR gene-editing technology comes up with a test that detects the pandemic coronavirus in just 5 minutes.
- The diagnostic does not require expensive lab equipment to run.
- CRISPR tests work by identifying a sequence of RNA, about 20 RNA bases long, that is unique to SARS-CoV-2.
- Researchers are working to validate their test setup and are looking into commercialization.
