Show abstract
The testing capacity for SARS-CoV-2 using RT-PCR analyses can be substantially increased by using pooling techniques. Here we discuss two important consequences of this. First, prevalence estimation can be done with a very limited number of RT-PCR analysis. Second, for screening purposes, the number of detected cases can largely increased.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
