The construction of DNAzyme-based logic gates for amplified microRNA detection and cancer recognition

摘要

Benefiting from the simple DNAzyme and a duplex-specific nuclease, a series of microRNA-stimulated DNAzyme logic gates were rationally assembled for the highly accurate detection of multiple low-abundant microRNA biomarkers that correspond to the specific aberrant microRNA expression patterns of cancer tissues, thus showing a great potential in early diagnosis.
