Two bacterial Cas proteins cleave nucleic acids indiscriminately after binding to specific target sequences. This property has now been harnessed to create highly sensitive, portable diagnostic tools for detecting viruses at low cost.Two bacterial Cas proteins cleave nucleic acids indiscriminately after binding to specific target sequences.
