The National Institutes of Health, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has announced an invention available for licensing. This invention is a high-throughput COVID-19 diagnostic test that uses next-generation sequencing to simultaneously detect the virus and the host's response. It aims to provide accurate and fast testing on a large scale, with potential applications in detecting various infectious organisms. The technology reduces reagent use and can also help predict the severity of the disease based on gene expression.
Simple Explanation
The government has a new test that can quickly find out if someone has COVID-19 and how sick they might get, and they're looking for people to help make it and use it.
