    The T7-FIP primer consists of a T7 promoter fused to the 3’ half of the FIP primer, and allows for the generation of T7 transcription templates during LAMP (Supplemental Table 1).
    LAMP
    suggested: (LAMP, RRID:SCR_001740)
    Bioinformatic analyses: 45,652 SARS-CoV-2 genomes defined as complete (>29,000 bp) were downloaded from GISAID (https://www.gisaid.org/) (Elbe and Buckland-Merrett, 2017), on June 23, 2020.
    Bioinformatic
    suggested: (QFAB Bioinformatics, RRID:SCR_012513)
    The generation and viewing of viral genome alignments was performed using publicly available software, including SnapGene Viewer and RStudio V1.2.5001 (Methods).
    SnapGene

    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.
