The Evolution of Nucleic Acid-Based Diagnosis Methods from the (pre-)CRISPR to CRISPR era and the Associated Machine/Deep Learning Approaches in Relevant RNA Design.

Nucleic acid tests (NATs) are considered as gold standard in molecular diagnosis. To meet the demand for onsite, point-of-care, specific and sensitive, trace and genotype detection of pathogens and pathogenic variants, various types of NATs have been developed since the discovery of PCR. As alternatives to traditional NATs (e.
