Emergence of a mutation in the nucleocapsid gene of SARS-CoV-2 interferes with PCR detection in Canada

Abstract The emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was met with rapid development of robust molecular-based detection assays. Many SARS-CoV-2 molecular tests target multiple genetic regions of the virus to maximize detection and protect against diagnostic escape. De...
