A short commentary on Molecular diagnosis of COVID-19 using RT-PCR
In today's time, the coronavirus pandemic has caused havoc in the world. This is evidenced in the upsurge of research that is being conducted by both public and private sector laboratories. However, there is a lot of curiosity from the public and individuals are asking the question as to how COVID-19 is being investigated in the laboratories? Keeping this in mind, we have tried to provide information in this article about the detection of COVID-19, thus we hope this information will be helpful to understand the detection of the COVID-19 disease using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Therefore, we will first know what are PCR and the variations thereof between PCR, RT-PCR, qPCR, and RTqPCR and how they work. We will further explain how coronavirus is detected through RT-PCR.
