Daily CRISPR Updates on Instagram: "The CRISPR-Cas13a system, known for its RNA-targeting capabilities, has been harnessed to develop CARRD (CRISPR anti-tag mediated room temperature RNA detection) for the detection of RNA at room temperature. This new test uses a CRISPR anti-tag hairpin structure to boost the specificity and sensitivity of RNA detection without the need for amplification or heating, achieving a low detection limit. The CARRD assay demonstrated successful detection of viral RNAs
