CRISPR technology has revolutionized genetic testing and disease detection, offering precise, rapid, and cost-effective diagnostic solutions. This gene-editing tool has been adapted for molecular diagnostics, utilizing Cas proteins to detect specific nucleic acid sequences with high sensitivity. CRISPR-based platforms such as SHERLOCK and DETECTR enable point-of-care testing, multiplexed detection, and portable diagnostics, transforming healthcare delivery in resource-limited settings.
What is CRISPR diagnostics?
CRISPR technology, originally discovered as a bacterial defense mechanism against viruses, has revolutionized genetic engineering and is rapidly transforming the field of diagnostics.1
These systems consist of clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas)...
