A new dT-SDA strategy was proposed for detecting longer DNA, which generates numerous ssDNA products through the formation of defective T junction structures and cascade SDA cycling. This strategy consumes less time and has satisfactory sensitivity, making it suitable for effective bacterial screening and infection diagnosis.
Current strand displacement amplification (SDA)-based nucleic acid sensing methods generally rely on a ssDNA template that involves complementary bases to the endonuclease recognition sequence, which has the limitation of detecting only short nucleic acids. Herein, a new SDA method in which the defective T junction structure is first used to support SDA (dT-SDA) was proposed and applied in longer DNA detection. In dT-SDA, an auxiliary probe and a primer were designed to specifically identify the target gene, following the formation of a stable defective T junction structure through proximity hybridization, and the formation of defective T junctions could further trigger cascade SDA cycling to produce numerous ssDNA products. The quantity of these ssDNA products was detected through microchip electrophoresis (MCE) and could be transformed to the concentration of the target gene. Moreover, the applicability of this developed strategy in detecting long genomic DNA was verified by detecting bacterial 16S rDNA. This proposed dT-SDA strategy consumes less time and has satisfactory sensitivity, which has great potential for effective bacterial screening and infection diagnosis.
