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: Biocompatible polymer-coated transition metal chalcogenide (TMC) nanomaterials are provided herein. In particular, provided herein are two-dimensional polymer-coated TMC nanomaterials having excellent antimicrobial properties and biocompatibility, as well as methods of inhibiting microbiological growth on, or in, devices coated by or otherwise comprising the biocompatible polymer-coated transition metal chalcogenide (TMC) nanomaterials. In some cases, the biopolymer coating encapsulating the TMC nanomaterial comprises short synthetic single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs). As described herein, ssDNA-encapsulated TMDCs exhibit no cytotoxicity against human cell lines at concentrations up to 0.25 mg/mL, but they exhibit exceptionally strong bactericidal activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli and a gram-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain. In other cases, TMDCs encapsulated by poly-L-lysine and Pluronic F77 display strong activity against multi drug resistance bacteria and form coatings that strongly inhibit bacterial biofilms, while TMDCs encapsulated by chitosan exhibit strong activity against fungi.

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: Methods and compositions for detecting the presence of a pathogen are described. In particular, this document provides a method of detecting a pathogen-associated nucleic acid in a biological sample of a subject, where the method comprises using one or more unimolecular aptamer-based sensors comprising an aptamer-fluorophore complex and an amplification step to detect the pathogen-associated nucleic acid. Methods specific for detecting the presence of malaria and other mosquito-borne virus infections are also provided.

Abstract: Provided herein are highly sensitive compositions and methods for detection of at least one specific nucleic acid molecule in a sample. The presence of a specific nucleic acid provides a positive indicator of a pathogenic agent, contaminant, non-canonical bases, and/or wild-type or mutated genes in a sample or a cell. Applications for which the compositions and methods are particularly well suited include point-of-care disease diagnosis or cellular RNA imaging.
