Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) andpolymerases are powerful enzymes and their diverse applications ingenomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics have revolutionized thebiotechnology industry today. CRISPR has been widely adopted for genomicediting applications and Polymerases can efficiently amplify genomictranscripts via polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Further investigations intothese enzymes can reveal specific details about their mechanisms that […]
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic caused a public health crisis throughout the world and highlighted the need for rapid and sensitive testing as a countermeasure. A sensitive and specific biosensor platform is developed for the detection of antigen and RNA of SARS-CoV-2, and its variant (B1.1.529). The demonstrated biosensor platform combines unique protein catalyzed capture bioreceptors (PCCs) […]
