Abstract: Provided herein are synthetic nucleic acid molecules and methods of using such synthetic nucleic acid molecules for strong repression of target gene expression. In particular, provided herein are methods for altering expression of a protein in a cell, where the method comprises introducing into a cell a protein coding sequence operably linked to a near-threshold translational repressor having first and second trigger recognition sequences that are fully or partially complementary to a repressing trigger RNA; and introducing into a cell the repressing trigger RNA.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of producing metal diboride nanomaterials having thickness down to the atomic scale and lateral areas from 10 nm to over 1 μm by preparing a mixture of a metal diboride and a suspending solution. The suspending solution can be an organic solvent or a solution containing water, and optionally can include a dispersion agent, such as a surfactant, a polymer, small molecule, or biopolymer. Further, the method includes exfoliating the metal diboride by exposing the mixture to ultrasonic energy, centrifuging the mixture forming supernatant that includes a dispersion of exfoliated metal diborides, and extracting the dispersion from the supernatant. Some embodiments include extracting the supernatant and casting the solution by diluting the dispersion with a second suspending solution that includes dissolved polymer. This can result in a composite film includes a dispersion of the exfoliated metal diborides and provides improved mechanical properties.

Abstract: Provided herein are synthetic nucleic acid molecules known as loop-mediated riboregulators that have single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sensitivity and ultralow OFF state signal levels. Loop-mediated riboregulators can activate or repress gene expression in response to trigger RNAs bearing completely arbitrary sequences. Also provided herein are methods of using such synthetic nucleic acid molecules for detecting the presence or absence of a particular target RNA in, for example, a biological sample.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a lithium-free metal dichalcogenides functionalization method where a metal dichalcogenide including a surface of predominantly semiconducting 2H phase is reacted with an aryl diazonium salt by exposing at least a portion of transition metal dichalcogenide to the aryl diazonium salt in the absence of alkyl lithium or alkyl lithium. A substantial portion of the reaction of the at least one aryl diazonium salt with the at least one transition metal dichalcogenide occurs with the semiconducting 2H phase. The aryl diazonium salt can be 4-nitrobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate or 4-carboxybenzene diazonium tetrafluoroborate, and the metal dichalcogenide can be MoS2. The semiconducting 2H phase of the transition metal dichalcogenide is derived directly from mechanical exfoliation such as mechanical cleaving and/or sonication.

Abstract: Methods for detecting the presence of a pathogen infection are described. In particular, this document provides a method of detecting target nucleic acids, such as pathogen-specific RNA, in a biological sample obtained from a subject, where the method comprises using one or more toehold switch sensors and an isothermal amplification step to detect the target nucleic acid. Methods specific for detecting and identify the presence of a virus such as Zika virus are also provided.

Abstract: Ultraspecific, programmable nucleic acid sensors capable of detecting and preferentially amplifying target DNA molecules comprising a particular SNP or mutation are provided. In some cases, the ultraspecific programmable nucleic acid sensors are useful for detecting SNP-containing DNA molecules indicative of cancer such as cell-free DNA circulating in the blood or indicative of organ transplant rejection Also provided are methods for construction of such ultraspecific nucleic acid sensors and methods for preferential amplification of target DNA molecules containing a mutation of interest, as well as testing systems for early cancer screening and routine monitoring of circulating cancer DNA using liquid biological samples such as serum, plasma, or saliva.

Abstract: Provided herein are imaging probes and systems and methods employing such imaging probes for real-time, label-free, multiplexed imaging of RNAs in living cells. More particularly, aptamer-based sensors (“aptasensors”) and molecular fuses comprising multiple aptasensors are genetically encoded imaging probes comprising RNA-target binding sequence and an intramolecular reconfiguration sequence. The probe is configured such that binding of a RNA target by the RNA-target binding sequence triggers the intramolecular reconfiguration sequence to reconfigure such that an optically detectable output is generated by the probe.
