    Abstract:

  • The robust and precise nucleic acid detection platform enormously influences the clinical diagnosis of human and plant pathogens, drastically affecting disease pandemic control. CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection tools have been successfully applied for rapid and sensitive nucleic acid detection. However, the T-rich protospacer adjacent motif (PAM), specificity, and sensitivity of the CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection tools limited its wide application. We first developed a new Cas12c-based nucleic acid detection platform (Cas12c-DETECTOR), recognizing a 5'-TG PAM and showing high sensitivity and specificity on examined targets. Our results indicate that Cas12c-DETECTOR coupling with the optimized single-guide RNA (sgRNA) can be applied to specifically identity single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Moreover, combined with pre-amplification and lateral flow strips or the visual fluorescence detection method, Cas12c-DETECTOR can be used to diagnose human and plant pathogens in practice. Therefore, our findings illustrated that Cas12c-DETECTOR is a robust, sensitive, precise, and practiced nucleic acid detection platform.
