    The HRV and IBV detection was performed by RT-PCR final point using specific primers, the retrotranscription step was made using SuperScript IV Reverse Transcriptase (Thermo Fisher Scientifics) and PCR was using GoTaq® DNA polymerase (Promega), the genome of HRV was visualized in agarose – Seakem LE Agarose (LONZA) at 2% applying a voltage of 80 Volts for 30 minutes.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
