The World Health Organization says millions of affordable, rapid diagnostic tests for coronavirus will be made available to low and middle-income countries.
Research and development road maps for each priority pathogen will outline knowledge gaps, set research priorities and guide the development of vaccines, treatments and diagnostic tests.
And now with the powerful gene-editing technology CRISPR, we can use this genetic information to rapidly design exquisitely sensitive diagnostic tests for any microbe.
