An immobilisation procedure based on the direct coupling of thiol-derivatised oligonucleotide probes to bare gold sensor surfaces has been used for DNA sensing applications. The instrumentation used relies on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) transduction; in particular the commercially available instruments BIACORE X and SPREETA, have been employed in this study. The performances of the SPR-based DNA sensors resulting from direct coupling of thiol-derivatised DNA probes onto gold chips, have been studied in terms of the main analytical parameters, i.e. selectivity, sensitivity, reproducibility, analysis time, etc. A comparison between the thiol-derivatised immobilisation approach and a reference immobilisation method, based on the coupling of biotinylated oligonucleotide probes onto a streptavidin coated dextran sensor surface, using synthetic complementary oligonucleotides has been discussed. Finally, a denaturation method to obtain ssDNA ready for hybridisation analysis has been applied to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified samples, for the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Copper ions are essential elements in the human body and participate in various physiological activities in the bodies of organisms. Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor was developed for detection of copper ions (Cu) based on FeO@Au magnetic nanoparticles (FeO@Au MNPs) and a Cu-dependent DNAzyme assisted nicking endonuclease signal amplification (NESA) strategy. dsDNA is formed by a hybridization reaction between DNA S2 and S1 immobilized on the surface of FeO@Au MNPs.

Self-assembled DNA nanostructures have been popularly used to develop DNA-based electrochemical sensors by exploiting the nanoscale positioning capability of DNA origami. However, the impact of the electric field on the structural stability of the DNA origami framework and the activity of carried DNA probes remains to be explored. Herein, we employ DNA origami as structural frameworks for reversible DNA hybridization, and develop a single-molecule fluorescence imaging method to quantify electric field effects on DNA conformation and hybridization properties at the single-molecule level.

Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that can bind to specific target molecules with high affinity and specificity. Fluorescence DNA aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have emerged as powerful analytical tools for detecting diverse targets, ranging from food contaminants to disease biomarkers, owing to their exceptional specificity, high sensitivity, and cost-effectiveness. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in the design strategies of fluorescence aptasensors, focusing on three key approaches: (1) fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based signal amplification, (2) nanomaterial-enhanced probes, and (3) multi-channel platforms for simultaneous detection.

Progranulin-deficient frontotemporal dementia (GRN-FTD) is a major cause of familial FTD with TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology, which is linked to exon dysregulation. However, little is known about this dysregulation in glial and neuronal cells. Here, using splice-junction-covering enrichment probes, we introduce single-nuclei long-read RNA sequencing 2 (SnISOr-Seq2), targeting 3,630 high-interest genes without loss of precision, and complete the first single-cell, long-read-resolved case-control study for neurodegeneration.

Small-molecule metabolic chemical probes are tailored chemical biology tools that are designed to detect and visualize biological processes within a cell or an organism. Nucleoside analogues are a subset of metabolic probes that enable the study of DNA synthesis, proliferation kinetics, and cell cycle progression. However, most available nucleoside analogue probes have been designed for use in mammalian cells, limiting their use in other species, where there are metabolic pathway differences.
