Herein, we developed a facile integrated Mycoplasma pneumoniae diagnosis platform by combining amino-modified silica membrane (AMSM)-based nucleic acids fast extraction and enrichment with colorimetric isothermal amplification detection. AMSM demonstrates a strong ability to capture and enrich nucleic acids in complicated biological matrices, and the purified AMSM/nucleic acids composite could be directly used to perform isothermal amplification including denaturation bubble-mediated strand exchange amplification (SEA) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reactions. Through comparing clinical specimens, excellent performance of AMSM-based SEA assay with 93.33% sensitivity and 100% specificity relative to real-time PCR was observed, and for AMSM-based LAMP was 96.67% and 100%, respectively. The diagnostic procedure could be completed within 55 min, and the colorimetric-based visual result further alleviates the use of sophisticated equipment. The proposed approach possesses great potential as a simple and time-saving alternative for point-of-care testing (POCT) of M. pneumoniae in resource-limited regions.

5-Methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) are crucial epigenetic modifications in eukaryotic genomic DNA that regulate gene expression and are associated with the occurrence of various cancers. Here, we combined bisulfite conversion with 4-acetamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-oxopiperridinium tetrafluoroborate (ACTBF, TCI) oxidation to develop a label-free and sequence-independent isothermal amplification (BTIA) assay for a genome-wide 5mC and 5hmC analysis. The BTIA strategy can distinguish 5mC and 5hmC signatures from other bases with high sensitivity and good specificity, avoiding sophisticated chemical modifications and expensive protein labeling.

Low levels of human norovirus (HuNoV) in food and environment present challenges for nucleic acid detection. This study reported an evaporation-enhanced hydrogel digital reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (HD RT-LAMP) with interfacial enzymatic reaction for sensitive HuNoV quantification in food and water. By drying samples on a chamber array chip, HuNoV particles were enriched in situ.

Background: The widespread and evolution of RNA viruses, such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), highlights the importance of fast identification of virus subtypes, particularly in non-laboratory settings. Rapid and inexpensive at-home testing of viral nucleic acids with single-base resolution remains a challenge.
Methods: Topologically constrained DNA ring is engineered as substrates for the trans-cleavage of Cas13a to yield an accelerated post isothermal amplification.

Isothermal amplification-based nucleic acid detection technologies have become rapid and efficient tools for molecular diagnostics. Sequence-specific monitoring methods are crucial for isothermal amplification, as they help identify the occurrence of extended primer dimers, which can lead to false positive results. Fluorescent aptamers are promising tools for real-time monitoring of isothermal amplification but are inherently limited by thermostability.
