Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are one of the most common markers in mammals. Rapid, accurate, and multiplex typing of SNPs is critical for subsequent biological and genetic research. In this study, we have developed a novel method for multiplex genotyping SNPs in mice. The method involves allele-specific PCR amplification of genomic DNA with two stem-loop primers accompanied by two different universal fluorescent primers. Blue and green fluorescent signals were conveniently detected on a DNA sequencer. We verified four SNPs of 65 mice based on the novel method, and it is well suited for multiplex genotyping as it requires only one reaction per sample in a single tube with multiplex PCR. The use of universal fluorescent primers greatly reduces the cost of designing different fluorescent probes for each SNP. Therefore, this method can be applied to many biological and genetic studies, such as multiple candidate gene testing, genome-wide association study, pharmacogenetics, and medical diagnostics.

CRISPR-Cas-based technology, emerging as a leading platform for molecular assays, has been extensively researched and applied in bioanalysis. However, achieving simultaneous and highly sensitive detection of multiple nucleic acid targets remains a significant challenge for most current CRISPR-Cas systems. Herein, a CRISPR Cas12a based calibratable single particle counting-mediated biosensor was constructed for dual RNAs logic and ultra-sensitive detection in one tube based on DNA Tetrahedron (DTN)-interface supported fluorescent particle probes coupled with a novel synergistic cascaded strategy between CRISPR Cas13a system and strand displacement amplification (SDA).

The large-scale preparation of fluorescent nanomaterials with laboratory-relevant chemical and optical properties will greatly forward their consumer market applications; however, it still remains challenging. In this work, a universal strategy was developed for the rapid and large-scale synthesis of fluorescent sulfur quantum dots that recently has drawn great attention because of their unique optical characteristics. From the fact that empty 3d orbitals of sulfide species are able to bind with lone-pair π electrons of the heteroatomic groups, many amino-group containing compounds, such as amino acid and polyethylenimine molecules, were exploited to synthesize sulfur quantum dots.
