    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: Novel compositions and methods for engineering wireframe architectures and scaffolds of increasing complexity by creating gridiron-like DNA structures (FIG. 1). A series of four-arm junctions are used as vertices within a network of double-helical DNA fragments. Deliberate distortion of the junctions from their most relaxed conformations ensures that a scaffold strand can traverse through individual vertices in multiple directions. DNA gridirons, ranging from two-dimensional arrays with reconfigurability to multilayer and three-dimensional structures and curved objects, can be assembled according the methods presented herein.
