Pathogen Detection
Coronaviruses are a family of large RNA viruses with size ranging from 26 to 32 kb. These viruses are zoonotic and in humans can cause respiratory infections. As the coronavirus is an RNA virus, it has a relatively high mutation rate resulting in rapid evolution. In December 2019, a new deadly coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2, which has a high sequence similarity to SARS-CoV, was identified as the cause of the Covid-19 outbreak. Since then, numerous variants of SARS-CoV-2 were reported around the world. Among them, several major variant strains, including B.1.1.7 (also known as 501Y.V1), B.1.351 (also known as 501Y.V2), P.1, and P.2, have gained enormous attention. These variant strains show increased transmissibility and have become major strains spreading globally.
