ABSTRACT
This study shows that oligonucleotide sequences are shared between the human genome and primers that have been proposed/used for SARS-CoV-2 detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The high level of sharing (namely, up to 19mer with a maximum number of gaps equal to 2) might bear implications for the diagnostic validity of SARS-CoV-2 detection by PCR.
