CRISPR-based diagnostics (CRISPR-dx), including the Cas12-based DETECTR and Cas13-based SHERLOCK Class 2 CRISPRs, have been used to detect the presence of DNA or RNA from pathogens, such as the 2009 pandemic influenza virus A (IAV) and the 2019 novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Here, we describe the collateral single-stranded DNA cleavage with Class 1 type I CRISPR-Cas3 and highlight its potential for development as a Cas3-mediated rapid (within 40 min), low-cost, instrument-free detection method for SARS-CoV-2. This assay, which we call Cas3-Operated Nucleic Acid detectioN (CONAN), not only detects SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples, but also offers specific detection of single-base-pair mutations in IAV variants. This tool allows rapid and accurate point-of-care testing for patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2 or drug-resistant IAV infections in hospitals.
基于CRISPR的诊断方法(CRISPR-dx),包括基于Cas12的DETECTR和基于Cas13的SHERLOCK 2类CRISPR,已被用于检测病原体DNA或RNA的存在,如2009年甲型大流行性流感病毒(IAV)和2019年新型冠状病毒SARS-CoV-2。在此,我们描述了1类I型CRISPR-Cas3的附带单链DNA切割,并强调了其作为一种用于SARS-CoV-2的由Cas3介导的快速(40分钟内)、低成本、无需仪器的检测方法的开发潜力。我们将此检测方法称为Cas3操作核酸检测(CONAN),它不仅能检测临床样本中的SARS-CoV-2,还能特异性检测IAV变体中的单碱基对突变。该工具可为医院中疑似SARS-CoV-2或耐药IAV感染的患者提供快速、准确的即时检测。
