Table 1.

Summary of the results for all primer/probe sets. Shown are the number of primers/probes $N_{pp}$ for each set, the range of reference temperatures $T_{\text{ref}.}$, the range of strict and partially mismatched coverages, for SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1 and non-SARS genomes. Detailed results for each primer are shown in Supplementary Tables S5, S6 and S7.
