The present study aimed to introduce a novel specific target and evaluate the known target genes in order to analyze COVID-19 bioinformatically. In this study, COVID-19 novel target was detected using the modified comparative genomic analysis (Kakhki, Najafzadeh, Kachuei, & Ghazvini, 2020; Kakhki et al., 2019; Neshani et al., 2018) . Afterwards, the specificity of the primers was determined bioinformatically using BLAST software for all databases to check any cross-reactivity with other bacterial or human genomes. We also designed a specific probe (K_COV-P1) for the novel Coronavirus to differentiate COVID-19 from all other human coronaviruses.
