Abstract excerpt
Here we describe a protocol for the amplified detection of a target DNA using a DNA/FokI-based replicating cutting machine. The protocol is based on the design of a sensing hairpin oligonucleotide that is opened upon hybridization with the analyte DNA. The endonuclease FokI binds to the double-stranded complex and cleaves it to a "cutter" unit. The "cutter" unit reacts with a fuel oligonucleotide to generate and...
