A CRISPR-Cas9-triggered strand displacement amplification method for ultrasensitive DNA detection.


ABSTRACT: Although polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the most widely used method for DNA amplification, the requirement of thermocycling limits its non-laboratory applications. Isothermal DNA amplification techniques are hence valuable for on-site diagnostic applications in place of traditional PCR. Here we describe a true isothermal approach for amplifying and detecting double-stranded DNA based on a CRISPR-Cas9-triggered nicking endonuclease-mediated Strand Displacement Amplification method (namely CRISDA). CRISDA takes advantage of the high sensitivity/specificity and unique conformational rearrangements of CRISPR effectors in recognizing the target DNA. In combination with a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) invasion-mediated endpoint measurement, the method exhibits attomolar sensitivity and single-nucleotide specificity in detection of various DNA targets under a complex sample background. Additionally, by integrating the technique with a Cas9-mediated target enrichment approach, CRISDA exhibits sub-attomolar sensitivity. In summary, CRISDA is a powerful isothermal tool for ultrasensitive and specific detection of nucleic acids in point-of-care diagnostics and field analyses.
