FIGURE 4.

The specificity of CRISPR/Cas13a-based detection for the TSWV. (A) Fluorescence intensity for different viruses. (B) Intensity of fluorescence signals generated after 15 min (30 kinetics cycles) of CRISPR/Cas13a-based detection for different viruses. Negative control has RNase-free water as input instead of RPA production. Data are the mean ± SD from triplicate biological replicates measurements. Comparisons between groups were performed using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a Tukey’s test. Different letters above the error bars indicate significant differences at the 0.05 level. RPA, recombinant polymerase amplification; SD, standard deviation; TSWV, tomato spotted wilt virus.
