Accordingly, at higher pH, nucleic acids such as DNA are more negativel charged and hence is more likely to repel other negatively charged nucleic acids from the earboxylk acid coated surface of the particle (e.g. an SPRI particle). This pH dependence may be exploited to fine-tune the sensitivity of the method accordin to nucleic acid concentration. Post-flocculation titration of pH may also be used as an approxi mation or estimation of nucleic acid concentration.

- FIG. 1 briefly describes the SDG concept which consists of three main phases.
- the first phase is precision sampling where DNA and/or RNA is extracted to a narrow concentration range using minimal equipment from a source of interest, e.g. a single drop of crude leaf extract.
- the second phase is the sensitive, rapid isothermal amplification of pathogenic nucleic acids using RPA.
- the third and final phase is the specific capture of amplified DNA using SPRI followed by a virtually equipment-free visual inspection of the same SPRI particles in a flocculation inducing buffer.
- Aggregation assays have several benefits such as label-free and equipmem free hiomoleeule detection and have been demonstrated more recently with gold nanoparticies 21"11 .
- a floeculation assay using SPRI carboxylic acid coated magnetic particles for DNA detection (Fig 3 A).
- the use of magnetic SPRI particles has three benefits; ( 1) to bind RPA amplified DNA, (2) to remove excess dNTPs, primers and primer dimers, (3) to facilitate a buffer change for floeculation.
- RNA viruses While we have successfully detected plant pathogen DNA, detecting RNA may also be useful for RNA viruses.
- SDG sampling protocol was modified to extract RNA instead of DNA for the plant pathogen cucumber mosaic virus (CMV).
- CMV plant pathogen cucumber mosaic virus
- MMLV reverse transcriptase (RT) was the added to the RPA mix to allow for an isothermal, single-step RT-RPA amplification of viral RNA. 23,20 Successful amplification was then determined with the flocculation assa and verified by gel electrophoresis. As expected, onl samples with viral infection but not healthy plants yielded a positive result when RT enzyme was included in the RPA reaction (Fig 6E).
- SDG was next; used to detect E. coli DNA in water.
- the common laborator E. coli strain OneShot Mach was cultured until an OD ⁇ 0.5. This was then diluted 10 fold and 10 pL was used for DNA extraction. 1 ⁇ of the extracted DNA was then used in the amplification step -with primers targeting an E. coli specific sequence in the uidA gene 2 '.
- Amplification specificity was proven using P. syringae gDNA as a non-specific control and a control lacking DNA template (NoT). For this applicatio only, a RPA product was always observed in the NoT control even after numerous precautionary measures were taken to avoid contamination, Moreover, a similar level of amplification was observed i the unrelated DNA template.
- SDG was extended to pathogens causing human, diseases such, as HIV, malaria, tuberculosis and influenza.
- HIV infected cells proviral DNA
- Fig 6C Presence of malarial parasite DNA was also successful ly detected in. infected blood samples but not in uninfected controls
- Fig 4D The presence of tuberculosis mycobacteria in culture samples was clearly detectable using two different target genes and could be distinguished from E. coli (Fig 6G).
- influenza A H1.N1 virus was detected in infected culture media while uninfected medi did not provide any positive signal (Fig 611).
- Field-ready POC genomic assays may be characterized by a sampling protocol for consistent extractio of fixed amounts of nucleic acids, a rapid and sensitive isothermal amplification method and an equipment-free readout.
- Fig 1 Single Drop Genomics
- lysis buffers consisting of chaotropic salts such as guamdium-HCl. Guanidium salts denature proteins and inactivate nucleases thus preserving the integrity of nucleic acids.
- a detergent e.g. Ttiton-X
- cellular membranes* are broken down to enhance lysis. This is then followed by removal of insoluble cellular debris and finally the extraction and purification .of .nucleic acids.
- cellular debris is conveniently removed using centrif gation.
- Nucleic acids are then extracted using SPRI technology * which is the most suitable for POC applications because it is virtually equipment-free; requiring only a. magnet. Moreover, DMA yield can be precisely controlled by simply adjusting the amount of SPRI particles give a fixed sample input. Another advantage of this approach is it's relatively low cost. For the amount of SPRl beads used, our approach only cost a few cents and contributed insignificantly to the overall assay cost. With unique combinations of our lysis buffer and SPRI technology, we consistently achieved yields of 3-5 .ng L for DNA and 30-40 ng/ L for RNA from plant leaf tissue (Fig 2B and C). This level of precision is important because in field situations, there are no simple equipment-free ways to quantify nucleic acids, For practical purposes, this concentration of DNA was also optimal for the downstream RPA amplification and did not interfere with the readout assay.
- RPA is a relatively new isothermal nucleic acid amplification method 4 . It is commercially available from TwistDX, has potentially single cell level of detection and up to 5-pIex RPA reaction. Another major factor for selecting RPA over other isothermal approaches is that the kits are sold as freeze-dried pellets and are stable at room temperature, a very useful characteristic for applications in geographically remote areas.
- the RPA assays that we have developed have been designed for sensitive and rapid (30 - 40 mins) detection of pathogenic or non-pathogenic DNA in plant, animal and human samples.
- TwistDX the sole commercial supplier of RPA kits, currently markets a portable device which functions as both a heating block and a tluorometer. While this may provide a possible POC solution, the initial outlay to purchase the device and primers with special chemical modifications may pose a limitatio for practical implementation. In addition, any kind of equipment used in real field situations will get exposed to adverse climatic conditions that will severely limit the useful life of the instrument, including extreme heat and cold, humidity, dirt, rain, etc. To address this, we develo ed a readout method that can quickly evaluate R A amplifications at almost no cost and with no equipment. Our readout approach is a flocculatioft assay that exploits the high DNA binding abilities of SPRJ beads (Fig 3).
- the Single Drop Genomic assay is a comprehensive, field-ready, universal, equipment-free, multispecies DNA and RNA detection strategy with a. plethora of applications in agriculture, human health and general biosafety. SDG i Its current form is ready for on-field evaluation.

- WGA DMA Whole genome amplified (WGA) DMA was generated using the REPLI-g UltraFast Mini kit (Qiagen) and purified using the DNeasy Blood and Tissue kit (Qiagen). An. aliquot of WGA DNA was then treated with Sssl methyltransferase overnight and purified to generate highly methylated genomic DNA. Cell line derived DNA was also purified with the DNeasy Blood and Tissue kit. Cell lines were purchased from ATCC and cultured according to the manufacturer's recommendation.
- DNA bound magnetic beads were collected with a magnet and washed once with a wash solution (400 IBM Guanidine FfCl, 70% ethanol), twice with 70% ethaiiol and finally eluted in 30 ⁇ , of water.

- RPA reactions were performed using the Twist Amp Basic Kit (TwistDx) with some modifications to the recommended protocol. Briefly, 500 i M primers were used in each 12.5 pL reaction supplemented with 7 mM MgOAc. After a rapid 20 min RPA amplification, 3 ⁇ was electraphoresed on a gel to verify amplification. The remaining was subjected a SPRI clean-up was performed to remove RPA reaction components that could interfere with the downstream flocculation assay. Purified amplicons were then eluted in 9.5 ⁇ water.
- DNA epigenetic changes in D.N A are potential disease biomarkers. 28
- One form of DNA epigenetic change is the methylation of the cytosine (5mC) in cytosine guanine dinucleotide (CpG), particularly in CpG i slands (CGI) of promoter regions that function to regulate cellular processes.
- CpG cytosine guanine dinucleotide
- CGI CpG i slands
- a useful characteristic of MBD-enrichment methods is the almost binary specificity of the enzymes under the appropriate salt concentrations 35, ', i.e., either MDB captures methylated DNA or not.
- This binary characteristic may be useful in situations where significant changes e.g., regions of high differential methylation (HDMRs) that are predictive of disease outcomes in clinic. Therefore, a readout method mirroring these digital yes/no biomarkers may be useful.
- a possible binary readout approach could be a DNA polymer-mediated bridging flocculation assay. As flocculation typically occurs abruptly between phases 4 ' 4 ', marrying MDB enrichment assays with a floeeulation-based readout may result in a rapid, low-resource method to evaluate HDMRs.
- the key feature of the bridging flocculation process is to discriminate between long and short DNA polymer segments which lies at the heart of enabling the assay. Since bridging flocculation is easily seen with the naked eye, it is a very attractive low resource evaluation system compared to conventional methodologies and may be more suited for low cost routine clinical use. In contrast to other naiiopartiele-based approaches' ' * where the colour shifts are usually subtle and require spectrometry for verification, the shift from cloudy t a clear solution in a tlocculation assay ha better visual contrast and can easily be evaluated by naked eye without additional equipment.
- Fig 7 we describe a novel method (Fig 7) using MBDs to selectively enrich for methylated DNA, followed by the robust isothermal re.combin.ase. polymerase amplification (RPA) 4 to generate large amounts of HDMR- specific DNA polymers.
- RPA polymerase amplification
- the presence of the amplified HDMR is evaluated by naked eye via a DNA- mediated bridging tlocculation- assay. Only nanogram amounts of starting genomic material was required and the assay was sensitive to 10% changes in methylation under current conditions.
- the assay was completed in under two hours and required only minimal equipment', pipettes, a heating block and a magnet.
- the assay wa applied to a panel of cells and whole blood-derived DNA to test for the presence of three potential cancer-related HDMRs. We believe the speed, simplicity and low resource requirement of the method could have broad DNA methylat ion-based applications in the clinic.
- MBD coupled to magnetic beads were then introduced t select for HDMRs in a relatively high salt (300 mM) buffer 16 while performing both the binding and washing steps on ice (4°C) to enable rapid yet high stringency enrichment.
- a known HDMR in breast cancer ' we first tested the MBD enrichment step with 5 ng of whole genome amplified (WGA) DNA as an unmethylated control against 5 ng WGA DNA methylated in vitro as the methylated control.
- MBD enriched HDMRs we used a flocculation assay to evaluate amplification. As only minimal equipment is needed for evaluation, a flocculation assay may also be suitable for low resource settings.
- the solid phase reversible immobilization SPRfj 2 carboxylic -coated magnetic beads for DNA purification to precipitate DNA onto the surface of the beads.
- a low pH buffer was introduce to trigger a flocculate only if high amounts of RPA amplicons with sufficient lengths were present, which in turn represents the presence of the MBD-enriched HDMR. If no amplification occur, indicating a lack of methylation, the 1 ⁇ beads readily disperse into solution. To our knowledge, this is a first bridging flocculation assay for a MBD/RPA-based approach.
- Urinary TMPRSS2:ERG fusion detection in prostate cancer TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusions are the predotmnant molecular subtype of prostate cancer.
- TMPRSS2-ERG fusions mediate tumour invasion, consistent with the defining histologic distinction between prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), a precursor lesion of prostate cancer and prostate cancer itself. It is thereforeof value to determine whether the "single drop" nucleic acid detection system disclosed herein can detect TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusions in a manner that could be useful for point-of-care diagnostics.
- RT-RPA amplicons of extracted DuCap RNA was purified using SPRI magnetic beads and sequenced, which verified amplification of the target TMPRSS2: ERG region.
- Figure I I shows RT-PCR of extracted RNA from urine specimens of 10 metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer patients and a healthy patient. The RT-PCR amplicons visualized by agarose gel electrophoresis validated the screening results of the flocculation assay on the same group of patients (Fig. 11c).
- Figure 1 a comparison of RNA stability in whole urine and urinary sediments demonstrates RT-RPA of patient whole urine and urinary sediment RNA extracted at 0, 2 and 12 hrs after specimen collection.
- Rotting Circle Amplification generation of amp consfor single drop genomics Rolling Circle Amplification is a rapid isothermal nucleic acid amplification that method has been used extensively for the detection disease biomarkers.
- s ' "59 As RCA generates long (kilobases) of DNA polymers it may be amenable to a DN mediated bridging floccuiation readout which requires sufficient DNA of appropriate lengths.
- the advantage of a DNA mediated bridging floccuiation readout assay is that results can be evaluated on site with the naked eye and therefore useful for applications in low resource settings.
- PSY pathogen Pseudomonas syringae
- the Pseudomonas syringae (Psy) genome sequence was obtained from GenBank, National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Bioinformatic analysis was performed arid candidate target Psy sequences were identified. Candidate sequences were subjected to BLAST searches to identify homologous DNA fragments in other organisms, Special attention was devoted to find sequences present in the Psy genome but absent, from other organism. A fragment showing no homology to any available sequence i the databank was chosen.
- CViPII nicking sites were identified and a single stranded circle probe was designed with 64 nt sequence 5 '-TGGTCTTAAAAACTCTTTCGTTGTCATTGGG AT AGGCGATTCTAA ATTTC C A ACGAAATCTGG-3 ' ("Nick PSY"; SEQ ID NO:28).
- Circular probe was prepared by mixing the 10 pmol of single stranded circle probe with 5U of CircLigase II (Epicentre) in 20 ⁇ reaction containing IX CircLigase II reaction buffer (33 mM Tris-acetate (pH. 7.5), 66 mM potassium acetate, and 0.5 mM DTT), 2.5mM MnC1 ⁇ 2 and IM betaine. The reaction was incubated at 60°C for 16 hr and followed by 80°C for 10 min to inactivate the CircLigase II. Digestion of Genomic DNA
- Psy genomic DNA and plant genomic DNA were digested with 51, of CViPII nicking enzyme (NEB) in 20 ⁇ reaction containing IX CutSmart buffer (50 m ' M Potassium Acetate, 20 mM Tris-acetate, 10 mM Magnesium Acetate, 100 ⁇ /ml BSA), The digestion was initially incubated at 37 °C for 90 mi followed by denaturation step at 65 °C for 20 min.
- lOOnM of circle probe was mixed with 250pg of nicking enzyme digested genomic DNA in 20 ⁇ reactio containing 5U of Klenow f agment (3 * — * 5 ! exo) (NEB), 5U of P 29 DNA polymerase (NEB) and 125 n of each dNTP in IX Phl29 buffer (SO mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl 3 ⁇ 4 , 10 mM: mM: DTT). The reaction mixture was incubated at 37°C for 30 min. The products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis using 1 .5% agarose gels in sodium borate buffer. Due to the nature of a linear RCA, the expected product sizes ranged from as short as 25 bases to an excess of 10 as indicated via gel electrophoresis.
- the DNA mediated bridging flocculation readout was compatible with RCA generated products and may be useful for rapid, sensitive, low resource detection of pathogen sequences.
- the application of the flocculation assay for RCA generated products was demonstrated with the successful detection of PSY in infected host plant leaves.
