DsDNA-templated Substrates as Fluorescent Probes for CRISPR-Cas12a-based Diagnostics
New design for CRISPR-based fluorescent probes improves disease diagnostics and sensing. Background: Scientists use the naturally occurring CRISPR-Cas12a gene editing system as a valuable tool for disease diagnostics. When Cas12a finds its target -- a sequence of double-stranded DNA -- it cuts it. In the process, it also cuts other nearby DNAs. Scientists...
