ABSTRACT
Synthetic biology enabling technologies have been harnessed to create new diagnostic technologies. However, most strategies involve error-prone amplification steps and limitations of accuracy in RNA detection. Here, a cell-free synthetic biology-powered biosensing strategy, termed as SHARK (Synthetic Enzyme Shift RNA Signal Amplifier Related Cas13a Knockdown Reaction), could efficiently and accurately amplify RNA signal by leveraging the collateral cleavage of activated Cas13a to regulate cell-free enzyme synthesis. Based on cascade amplification and tailored enzyme output, SHARK behaves broad compatibility in different scenarios. The portable device based on SHARK was successfully used as SARS-CoV-2 biosensors with high sensitivity and selectivity, and the results were highly consistent with Ct values of qRT-PCR. In addition, when combined with machine learning, SHARK performs bio-computations and thus for cancer diagnosis and staging based on 64 clinical samples. SHARK shows characteristics of precise recognition, cascade amplification and tailored signal outputting comparisons with established assays, presenting significant potential in developing next-generation RNA detection technology.
