In spite of the tremendous development in Nucleic Acid Chemistry and Nucleic Acid Design, recognition of double-stranded (ds) DNA by hybridization probes under physiological salt and pH conditions remains an ongoing challenge up to this date. The discovery of CRISPR/Cas pioneered the field of dsDNA recognition and swiftly shifted the spotlight off hybridization probes. However, developing a state-of-art approach of hybridization probes for dsDNA recognition is still a long-standing goal. We aim to develop a protein-free oligonucleotides-based constructions that recognize dsDNA. Such constrcutions may have benefits over CRISPR/cas system including affordability, chemical stability and simplified intracellular delivery.
