Show abstract
The RNA extraction is an important checkpoint for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in swab samples, but it is a major barrier to available and rapid COVID-19 testing. In this study, we validated the extraction-free RT-qPCR method by heat-treatment as an accurate option to nucleic acid purification in Algerian population.
