An electrolyte-gated transistor for the monitoring of a CRISPR/Cas activity by Pierre Guermonprez, Le Tu Anh, Louis Renaud, Pierre Nioche, Eric Krejci, Aurélie Alleaume-Butaux, Nicolas Battaglini, Vu Thi Thu, Sébastien Sanaur, Benoît Piro

“…Detection of Ribonucleic acids (RNA) is a critical step in the identification of viral or bacterial infections in humans and animals. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) remains the gold standard, but clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats linked to a Cas endoribonuclease particle (CRISPR/Cas) have recently revolutionized the recognition step of two RNAs, i.e. the CRISPR-RNA (crRNA) and the target, providing a much better selectivity compared to the naked hybridization on which RT-PCR is based. …”
