The trans-cleavage activity of the target-activated CRISPR/Cas12a liberated an RNA crosslinker from a molecular transducer, which facilitated the assembly of gold nanoparticles. Integration of the molecular transducer with isothermal amplification and CRISPR/Cas12a resulted in visual detection of the N gene and E gene of SARS-CoV-2 in 45 min.
