Abstract

-cleavage activity against collateral single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and employed the activity to develop a rapid nucleic acid detection system, namely HOLMES (one-hour low-cost multipurpose highly efficient system). Here, with the employment of thermophilic CRISPR-Cas12b, we create HOLMESv2 for four different applications: (1) specifically discriminating single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP); (2) simply detecting virus RNA, human cell mRNA and circular RNA; (3) conveniently quantitating target nucleic acids with a one-step system combined with LAMP amplification in a constant temperature, thus avoiding cross-contamination; (4) accurately quantitating target DNA methylation degree with the combination of Cas12b…
