    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 is a RNA-based riboregulator that detects protein translation and uses this stimulus to regulate expression of an unrelated protein. In one embodiment, provided herein is a synthetic nucleic acid molecule configured as a translation-sensing riboregulator, where the synthetic nucleic acid molecule comprises a first nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide, a translation-sensing riboswitch (TSR), and a second nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide, wherein the translation-sensing riboswitch comprises a stop codon of the first nucleotide sequence, a fully or partially double-stranded stem-forming domain, and translation initiation elements of the second nucleotide sequence.
