Sequencing Mirror-Image DNA Chemically
Open accessAbstract
The development of mirror-image biology systems faces a crucial barrier of lacking an L-DNA sequencing technique. Here, we developed a practical method for sequencing mirror-image DNA by adopting the Maxam-Gilbert sequencing approach, through which specific nucleobases in an end-labeled L-DNA are cleaved by achiral chemicals. This technique may facilitate the therapeutic application of nuclease-resistant L-aptamer drugs, and bring the vision of building an alternative, mirror-image self-replicating system closer to reality.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
