Detecting rapidly mutating bacteria and viruses with AutoPLP
Researchers reporting in ACS Infectious Diseases have developed a procedure that could help researchers catch up to microbes which can rapidly mutate and evade detection and treatment. Their “AutoPLP” technique designs nucleic acid probes to detect new variants quickly, accurately and easily.
