Deskripsi

Isothermal DNA amplification techniques are useful for diagnostic applications in place of traditional PCR. Here the authors describe CRISDA, which combines CRISPR–Cas9 with strand displacement amplification and exhibits attomolar sensitivity and single-nucleotide specificity in DNA detection.
