Abstract excerpt
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) mutation profiling is essential for guiding targeted therapy and monitoring cancer recurrence, yet its clinical adoption is constrained by overwhelming wild-type DNA background and the limited sensitivity of existing platforms. Here, we introduce a dual hairpin-competition CRISPR/Cas14a (DHCC) system that integrates two sequential layers of hairpin competition: selective enrichment...
