Researchers from the Zhang Liye Laboratory have developed a groundbreaking tool that revolutionizes the way researchers design primers for detecting pathogens. This new pipeline, which scans ...

GeneFisher—fishing for genes, perhaps? Fishing genes out of genomes? Just fishing? The subtitle, Interactive PCR Primer Design, “hooked me” (get it?) but it shouldn’t have in retrospect.

Specificity and cross-reactivity of AS RT-qPCR primers against the WT and the Omicron DNA sequences. The researchers further evaluated the twist synthetic SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid (RNA) control ...
