A liquid chromatography method for simultaneously detecting multiple microRNAs based on a duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) cyclic amplification technology comprises the following steps: designing a fluorophore-modified single-stranded DNA probe according to a target microRNA to be detected and loading the probe onto a surface of a streptavidin-coated magnetic bead (MB) to serve as a detection probe; adding a target microRNA sample to be detected and DSN to the detection probe, fully mixing the same, and incubating the mixture; after the incubation, completely removing the magnetic bead and the unreacted DNA probe to obtain a separated solution; and injecting the separated solution into a high-performance liquid chromatography system for separation and quantification.

Provided are systems and methods of sample preparation and analyte detection.

There is provided a paper-based colorimetric sensor kit for quickly and simply diagnosing mercury in situ with a naked eye. The paper-based colorimetric sensor kit includes: a circular template for rolling circle amplification (RCA); a primer that does not hybridize to the circular template when a mercury ion is bonded to a primer that hybridizes to the circular template; a DNA polymerase; a sensing material kit including a nanoparticle probe labeled to a DNA coil formed in the circular template for RCA; and a radial chromatography paper.

The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to isolated nucleic acids (also referred to as cap guides) and methods of use thereof for RNA mapping. The disclosure is based, in part, on guide RNAs that bind to a position that is at least 7 nucleotides downstream of the first nucleotide of an mRNA molecule.

Methods for quenching a nuclease digestion of a target nucleic acid prior to downstream analysis of the target nucleic acid are disclosed herein. Particularly, methods for controlling the end point of a nuclease digestion prior to sequence analysis of a target nucleic acid is provided. Quenching of a nuclease digestion in the present disclosure employs at least one non-ionic or anionic denaturant combined with an optional reducing agent. The methods presented in this disclosure aids preserving the sample comprising the target nucleic acid or fragments thereof for long term storage and ensures that the effect of contaminating nucleases is eliminated during pretreatment step.
