UnCovid: A versatile, low-cost, and open-source protocol for SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection

Summary: Here, we describe a detailed step-by-step protocol to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA using RT-PCR-mediated amplification and CRISPR/Cas-based visualization. The optimized assay uses basic molecular biology equipment such as conventional thermocyclers and transilluminators for qualitative detection....
