The cutting-edge CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat)/Cas (CRISPR-associated proteins) system, as an emerging molecular diagnostic technique, is driving revolutionary developments in the detection field due to its high specificity and efficiency. However, the CRISPR-based assays typically require the combination with an additional pre-amplification step based on isothermal nucleic acid amplification to meet the requirements of clinical diagnosis, which brings issues including complicated operation and the risk of aerosol contamination. To address these challenges, one-pot CRISPR platforms are emerging as an attractive solution to streamline workflows, enabling rapid, cost-effective, and high-sensitivity diagnostics. This review outlines the current status, challenges, and three key strategies to realize highly efficient one-pot CRISPR-based detection. In addition, further perspectives are outlined that will inspire new exploration and promote one-pot CRISPR/Cas detection as the next generation of diagnostic tools.

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral disease that affects livestock and is caused by the lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). An outbreak of LSD in any country can lead to acute economic damage for livestock owners. The significance of prompt and accurate diagnosis in managing this viral disease cannot be overstated.

Rolling circle amplification (RCA) has revolutionized nucleic acid detection owing to its isothermal simplicity. However, over two decades of clinical application have been hampered by off-target amplification and incompatibility with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Herein, a strategy, specifically cleavage of rationally designed DNA/RNA chimeric hairpin preprimer by dsDNA-targeted CRISPR/Cas12a to rlease ssRNA for initiating RCA (SCOPE-RCA), is proposed for nucleic acid identification of African swine fever virus (ASFV).

Rolling circle amplification (RCA) has emerged as a highly versatile and robust isothermal amplification technology, offering exceptional sensitivity, specificity, and scalability for next-generation molecular diagnostics and multi-omics research. Its ability to generate long, repetitive DNA sequences with high fidelity has made it a pivotal tool in disease diagnostics, genomic analysis, and spatial transcriptome profiling. Recent advancements have expanded RCA into various formats, including solution-phase, solid-phase, hydrogel-based, and digital RCA, enhancing its analytical performance and adaptability across diverse biological applications.

Background: The increasing prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), particularly due to the presence of the mecA gene, emphasizes the need for decentralized, rapid, and accurate molecular diagnostics. While qPCR remains the gold standard method, its dependence on expensive equipment and centralized labs limits accessibility in field or point-of-care (POC) settings. To address this limitation, we developed an Electrochemical Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (E-LAMP) platform for rapid, low-cost, and highly sensitive detection of the mecA gene, using 3D-printed electrodes and a smartphone-controlled potentiostat.
