Enzyme-Free DNA Circuits for Signal Amplification and Diagnostic Assays

Andrew Ellington of the University of Texas at Austin in the U.S. proposes to improve enzyme-free DNA circuits by engineering circuit sensitivity and selectivity, ultimately creating multi-layered circuits that greatly amplify signal inputs. These robust amplifiers could be modularly introduced into a variety of point-of-care diagnostics.
