Validation and advantages of using novel RT-qPCR melting curve analysis assays for the identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants

Abstract Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) assays are gold standard in diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 infection and play a major role in viral subtyping for rapid detection and monitoring of important mutations, containing the spread of new virus variants. We wanted to compare RT-qPCR melting...
