Very interesting about the Genes. Extract from Genedrives LinkedIn post:
" genedrive’s PCR test looks for 3 distinct signals in each sample (1) a positive or negative COVID19 signal based off E and N genes,"
From Novacyt recent RNS
"Following several months of discussions with the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS), which advises the French government on medical reimbursement, the Company reports that HAS has not approved Primerdesign's COVID-19 test for reimbursement in France. This decision by HAS is despite clinical approval from the Institut Pasteur, an internationally renowned centre for biomedical research with a goal of improving public health in France, which the Company received on 6 April 2020. HAS stated it will not authorise reimbursement because the COVID-19 test has been developed with one single gene target. Novacyt can still sell the test in France for private patient testing."
