Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detecting SARS Coronavirus, Beijing, 2003

During the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak, a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, which targets the nucleocapsid gene at the 3′-end of the viral genome, was established to detect and identify the SARS-associated coronavirus.
