Welcome to Aedes'n'Seek !

Our project enable viruses detection in mosquitoes, whith a final aim of preventing pandemic. We based our project on SHERLOCK technique and Cas13 enzyme, to detect specific RNA. We also developped a code to craft guide RNA that are necesssary for the detection system (see Proof of concept)
