Lynch Syndrome (LS) is a common genetic cancer condition that allows for personalized cancer prevention and early cancer detection in identified gene carriers. We used data from the All of Us (AOU) Research Initiative to assess the prevalence of LS in the general U.S.

Background: In current years, the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) based strategies have emerged as the most promising molecular tool in the field of gene editing, intracellular imaging, transcriptional regulation and biosensing. However, the recent CRISPR-based diagnostic technologies still require the incorporation of other amplification strategies (such as polymerase chain reaction) to improve the cis/trans cleavage activity of Cas12a, which complicates the detection workflow and lack of a uniform compatible system to respond to the target in one pot.
Results: To better fully-functioning CRISPR/Cas12a, we reported a novel technique for straightforward nucleic acid detection by incorporating enzyme-responsive steric hindrance-based branched inhibitors with CRISPR/AsCas12a methodology.

A rapid and accurate biosensor for detecting disease biomarkers at point-of-care is essential for early disease diagnosis and preventing pandemics. CRISPR-Cas12a is a promising recognition element for DNA biosensors due to its programmability, specificity, and deoxyribonuclease activity initiated in the presence of a biomarker. The current electrochemical CRISPR-Cas12a-based biosensors utilize the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) self-assembled on an electrode surface and covalently modified with the redox indicator, usually methylene blue (MB).

MicroRNA (miRNA) serves as an effective and viable biomarker for early diagnosis and monitoring of cancer disorders. It is highly expressed in tumor cells, including lung cancer, liver cancer and lymphoma. Herein, we propose a ratiometric electrochemical sensor for ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21 using dual signal amplification, hybridization chain reaction and Exo III assisted-amplification.

Dinucleases of the DEDD superfamily, such as oligoribonuclease, Rexo2 and nanoRNase C, catalyze the essential final step of RNA degradation, the conversion of di- to mononucleotides. The active sites of these enzymes are optimized for substrates that are two nucleotides long, and do not discriminate between RNA and DNA. Here, we identified a novel DEDD subfamily, members of which function as dedicated deoxydinucleases (diDNases) that specifically hydrolyze single-stranded DNA dinucleotides in a sequence-independent manner.
