Based on target-triggered dynamic hairpin assembly (DHA) in both unidirectional and bilateral growth manners DNA nanobrushes are constructed, which realize sensitive and selective detection of short miRNA (miR-21) and long DNA (BRCA1), respectively. Moreover, the unidirectional DHA strategy is readily applied to in situ imaging of miR-21 in different live cells.
