  Detecting and diagnosing small changes occurred by gene alteration via PCR is globally considered as an effective and precise method for handling various diseases. From the internal factors which change the normal body to develop disorders such as cancer to mutated external sources of infection that alters the intact human body, mainly bacteria and viruses. Among these, SARS-CoV-2 has emerged to be one of the most concerning threats to public health due to its rapid mutation. From the initial outbreak in 2019, research groups continuously identified various subtypes, some of which branched out as a novel variant of the original form that caused global health crisis among the population. While the standard PCR method of real-time quantitative reverse transcription is considered effective in detection and prevention, as more SARS-CoV-2 variants emerged, the overall process of iden..
