- How do you track an ongoing epidemic, especially without large-scale testing? We explored the use of routinely collected RT-qPCR cycle threshold values in our new preprint out now! doi.org/10.1101/2024... 1/
- RT-qPCR tests for viral pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 indirectly measure viral loads through cycle threshold (Ct) values. Previous work (doi.org/10.1126/scie...) found that population-level viral load distributions relate to epidemic trajectories 2/
