This study shows that oligonucleotide sequences are shared between the human genome and primers that have been proposed/used for SARS-CoV-2 detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The high level of sharing (namely, up to 19mer with a maximum number of gaps equal to 2) might bear implications for the diagnostic validity of SARS-CoV-2 detection by PCR.
本研究表明,人类基因组与已被提出/用于通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)的引物之间存在寡核苷酸序列共享。高度的序列共享(即长达19聚体,最大间隙数等于2)可能对通过PCR检测SARS-CoV-2的诊断有效性产生影响。
