Result: Because CRISPR/Cas12a has been reported to differentiate SNPs with single-base resolution, we used Cas12a to identify SARS-CoV-2
N501Y,
D614G, and 69/70 deletion mutations; these are the key mutations of SARS-CoV-2 VOC (Table S1).
Result: However, 40 min is the most advisable for
D614G detection.
Result: However, significant differences in fluorescence intensities between 614-crRNA-W and 614-crRNA-M were noted, and this slight activation had no impact on
D614G discrimination.
