Description

Universal digital PCR detection system and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nucleic acid detection and biological medicine, and particularly relates to a universal digital PCR detection system and application thereof.
Background
Nucleic acid amplification is an indispensable detection tool in the field of clinical diagnosis, including the differentiation of genotypes and the accurate quantification of pathogens in patient specimens. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) -based techniques provide a powerful tool for amplification of minute amounts of initial target sequences. The method has been developed from low-throughput general PCR based on gel analysis to real-time quantitative PCR based on fluorescence technology, and digital PCR (ddPCR) using thousands of microreactors, and the digital PCR has the advantage of absolute quantification, which is a third generation PCR detection technology.
Existing amplification techniques typically employ non-selective DNA dyes or target-specific fluorescent probes. DNA dyes are suitable for low cost nucleic acid detection and quantification, but are limited in multiplexing and non-specific amplification. In contrast, fluorescently labeled target-specific oligonucleotides (such as hydrolysis probes or molecular beacons) are based on Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) between a fluorescent group and a quenching group and interact directly with the target sequence. Labeling the target-specific probe sequences with different fluorophores enables the detection of multiple targets with high specificity during the reaction. However, fluorescent group labeling increases the cost of analysis, and the increase in cost is proportional to the increase in the number of detection targets. It can be seen that the existing amplification techniques have the disadvantage of low efficiency or high cost.
