What types of genetic tests would not work for SARS-CoV-2 and why?
Complementation test which is also known as cis-trans test would not be possible in SARS-CoV-2 virus. This test is used to determine whether two mutations associated with a specific trait represent two different forms of the same gene (alleles) or are variations of two different genes. This is not possible in SARS-CoV-2 virus because the genetic material is single stranded RNA insted of DNA.
In addition to that, dominant recessive related tests are also not possible in this virus because being singl stranded, there is no option for recessiveness, The gene which are present in single stranded RNA will be expressed.
