Abstract
Given that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SRAS-CoV-2) virus keeps mutating during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need to develop a quick and convenient test method to detect real-life samples for mass on-site screening. Zhang et al. proposed a novel strategy for rapid detection and discrimination of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants at rather low cost utilizing a subtly designed DNA probe. By combining with a paper-based colorimetric amplification platform, the results could be analyzed by the naked eyes or a widely used smartphone.
