Doctoral Candidate exploring innovative DNA-based platforms for Healthcare | Diagnostics, Bioengineering, Nanotechnology
Maybe a little late. But yeah, so so happy that the preprint is out. DNA has been used outside of the genetic context. It has really exciting properties making it a great engineering material. DNA-based "reactions offer a programmable method to detect diseases. The programming however has been challenging. What does this work mean? We have simplified the "programming" aspect. An assay for a new disease, new target could be developed by simply exchanging domains. What has otherwise been a master's or PhD thesis could be achieved by a simple swap. Plug-and-play. The performance remains the same. How did it happen? Some DNA magic. Hidden in the paper. Please do give it a read, and let me know for more discussions, debates, anything.
Happy to share our preprint describing a new synthetic gene switch for in-vitro detection of #DNA and #RNA. Congrats to Krishna Gupta who is the first author of this insightful work! #nanotechnology #synbio #PoC #diagnostics https://lnkd.in/gdhQpuku
