Repurposing Type I-A CRISPR-Cas3 for a robust diagnosis of human papillomavirus (HPV)

Abstract R-loop-triggered collateral single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) nuclease activity within Class 1 Type I CRISPR-Cas systems holds immense potential for nucleic acid detection. However, the hyperactive ssDNase activity of Cas3 introduces unwanted noise and false-positive results. In this study, we id...
