Shining a light on DNA: A rapid, ultra-sensitive, PCR-free detection method

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods.

Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA detection technique, using heterogeneous probe particles, that enables ultra-sensitive and ultra-fast genetic analysis without the need for PCR amplification. This advancement is lighting the way for faster, more affordable, and precise genetic analysis across medicine, environmental science, and…
