Combination of ultrashort PCR and Pyrococcus furiosus Argonaute for DNA detection

Analyst. 2021 Dec 20;147(1):35-39. doi: 10.1039/d1an01521d.

Abstract

A simple and user-friendly nucleic acid sensing platform with 10 aM sensitivity, named USPCRP (combines ultrashort PCR with Pyrococcus furiosus Argonaute cleavage for nuleic acids detection) is reported. The product of this ultrashort PCR could be directly used as a DNA guide to mediate PfAgo cleavage of molecular beacons.
