Abstract

Reports on the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) technology test. Advanced CRISPR technology is part of a new test that determines within minutes whether a person has been infected with even very low levels of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the cause of COVID-19), and also quickly and directly measures the viral load, or how much replicating virus is in a person's body. The California research group behind the technology seeks to provide a do-it-yourself test that people can use to check themselves for infection before going out in public, so they know whether they should head to work or school, hop on a plane, or visit older relatives.

摘要

CRISPR（成簇规律间隔短回文重复）技术检测报告。先进的 CRISPR 技术是一项新测试的一部分，该测试可在数分钟内确定一个人是否感染了 SARS-CoV-2 病毒（COVID-19 的病因），即使是非常低水平的感染，并且还能快速直接地测量病毒载量，即一个人身体内有多少复制病毒。这项技术背后的加州研究小组希望提供一种 DIY 测试，人们可以在外出前用它来检查自己是否感染，这样他们就可以知道自己是否应该去上班或上学、坐飞机，还是去看望年长的亲戚。
