Colorimetric miRNA detection based on self-primer-initiated CRISPR-Cas12a-assisted amplification

miRNAs alter significantly throughout pregnancy to support the development of the fetus. However, sensitive detection of miRNA remains a challenge. Herein, a reliable miRNA detection approach integrating self-assembly-triggered signal amplification and CRISPR-Cas12a-system cleavage-based color gener...

description miRNAs alter significantly throughout pregnancy to support the development of the fetus. However, sensitive detection of miRNA remains a challenge. Herein, a reliable miRNA detection approach integrating self-assembly-triggered signal amplification and CRISPR-Cas12a-system cleavage-based color generation is described. The colorimetric approach contains three signal amplification processes. The first signal amplification is formed by the released miRNA in a chain extension process. The produced sequence that is similar to the target miRNA initiates the second signal recycle. Finally, CRISPR-Cas12a-based transcleavage on linker sequences induces the third signal amplification. The method exhibits high sensitivity and a low limit of detection of 254 aM, showing promising prospects in disease diagnosis.
