Someone testing for the presence of a virus like COVID often has very little genetic material to analyze. This might include the genetic material from only a few viruses. However, a person with even a few viruses in them would still be infected, might be contagious, and could still spread the virus to others. How does a scientist detect and then amplify the very small amounts of genetic material that might be found on a nasal swab, such as is used for COVID testing?

Viral Replication

The virus is acellular and considered non-living outside the host cell. The replication of the virus occurs only inside the living cells. Only a few genes are present in the smallest virus, whereas many genes are present in the largest virus. These genes encode specific viral proteins.
