After publishing 蘑菇视频 Institute (KGI) Assistant Professor Kiana Aran's CRISRP-Chip research in March, the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering has now featured the innovation on its .
As announced in March, is the first to combine the power of CRISPR鈥檚 nucleic acid targeting with the ultra sensitivity of graphene, making it possible to digitally detect DNA without amplification.
鈥淭he innovation is to bring the two together as a capture mechanism. Our system does not use amplification; instead, it relies on CRISPR鈥檚 genome-searching capability and graphene鈥檚 sensitivity,鈥� explains Aran, who led the multi-university research team responsible for the work described in the paper 鈥淐RISPR-Chip: A CRISPR-based Graphene-enhanced Field Effect Biosensor for Electronic Detection of Unamplified Target Genes,鈥� which was on March 25.
