Show abstract
Quantifying SARS-CoV-2 infectivity, formulating well-calibrated public-health policy, and managing the safety of workplaces would all be facilitated by precise measurement of the extent to which SARS-CoV-2 RNA is present in an intact form in biological specimens and human environments. We describe assays that use digital PCR in nanoliter droplets (droplet digital PCR) to measure these properties. Such assays could be broadly deployed to inform COVID-19 epidemiology, measure symptomatic and asymptomatic infectivity, and help manage the safety of environments in which people live, move, and work.

"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.
