DNA nanotechnology for nucleic acid analysis: multifunctional molecular DNA machine for RNA detection

nucleic acid testing for the detection of hbv dna

DNA/RNA preparation for molecular detection.

BACKGROUND Effective upstream preparation of nucleic acid (NA) is important for molecular techniques that detect unique DNA or RNA sequences. The isolated NA should be extracted efficiently and purified away from inhibitors of a downstream molecular assay. CONTENT Many NA sample preparation techniques and commercial kits are available. Techniques for cell lysis and isolation or purification o...

Beyond DNA origami: the unfolding prospects of nucleic acid nanotechnology.

Nucleic acid nanotechnology exploits the programmable molecular recognition properties of natural and synthetic nucleic acids to assemble structures with nanometer-scale precision. In 2006, DNA origami transformed the field by providing a versatile platform for self-assembly of arbitrary shapes from one long DNA strand held in place by hundreds of short, site-specific (spatially addressable) DN...

Nucleic acid amplification strategies for DNA microarray-based pathogen detection.

DNA microarray-based screening and diagnostic technologies have long promised comprehensive testing capabilities. However, the potential of these powerful tools has been limited by front-end target-specific nucleic acid amplification. Despite the sensitivity and specificity associated with PCR amplification, the inherent bias and limited throughput of this approach constrain the principal benef...
