Cantilever-Based Optical Deflection Assay for Discrimination of DNA Single-Nucleotide Mismatches

Abstract

Characterization of single-nucleotide polymorphisms is a major focus of current genomics research. We demonstrate the discrimination of DNA mismatches using an elegantly simple microcantilever-based optical deflection assay, without the need for external labeling. Gold-coated silicon AFM cantilevers were functionalized with thiolated 20- or 25-mer probe DNA oligonucleotides and exposed to target oligonucleotides of varying sequence in static and flow conditions. Hybridization of 10-mer complementary target oligonucleotides resulted in net positive deflection, while hybridization with targets containing one or two internal mismatches resulted in net negative deflection. Mismatched targets produced a stable and measurable signal when only a four-base pair stretch was complementary to the probe sequence. This technique is readily adaptable to a high-throughput array format and provides a distinct positive/negative signal for easy interpretation of oligonucleotide hybridization.

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.
