Well, the basic [Drosten] test was that three different genes of that Sars-CoV-2 virus would be tested for, which they eventually reduced, I think, to one gene piece.
But we looked at all these three fragments, in this test, and we also optimized it.
We optimized those primers with which you can produce those bands. But additionally, we used two of the same segments that others have used, but we also selected another segment, which could possibly generate a better signal.
No, we actually used the original test, which consisted of three pieces.
And in addition, we looked at three pieces of our own choice, two of which were from the Corman-Drosten story and one new segment, to see if that would improve the test.
Yes, so the new segment you selected yourself.., so you basically made your own test design, that's where the new segment stems from. -Yes, correct.
-What we found was, that there were problems with that test.
There are still isues with ourown test, as Well.
In particular, what we found is that, after sequencing, we could detect the virus in some of those patents. But, as Peter also pointed out, some of those pieces, the one called the N gene in particular, which Peter thought might also produce clear hits with the human genome -which is indeed what we found.
What that actually means is that with one of those fragments, you may possibly pick up on human DNA.
One of those fragments from the Corman-Drosten paper... -And that is a false positive.
....simply gets triggered by my own DNA?
-That could be, yes.
