CACLP Products List | Talk about molecular diagnostics
It is estimated that the term “nucleic acid detection” is already known to everyone, and there are rap lyrics written specifically for “doing nucleic acid”, which can be called a brainwashing song. But what is “nucleic acid detection”? I believe everyone has some understanding from various scientific articles. The official name of “nucleic acid detection” in the field of in vitro diagnosis can be called molecular diagnosis.Today we will talk about “molecular diagnosis” from the perspective of the development history of “nucleic acid detection” and raw materials!

Molecular Diagnostics
Molecular diagnosis, as the name suggests, is a professional process that detects various samples through molecular biology methods to provide microscopic basis for disease diagnosis and treatment, infection and epidemic prevention, and forensic identification. In this process, it is inseparable from the discovery of core raw materials for molecular diagnosis and the invention of important technologies.
Dr. Kary Mullis was primarily responsible for the synthesis of oligonucleotides (small pieces of DNA) during his tenure as Head of Synthesis at Cetus Biologics.
In 1983, when Mullis was driving down the highway, he had in mind the structure of the double strands of DNA and how to keep DNA fragments replicating themselves.
In November 1984, he led several technicians to successfully complete the first PCR experiment, performing 10 PCR cycles of replication amplification of a 49 bp DNA fragment.

In 1988, the heat-resistant DNA polymerase was extracted from an aquatic thermophagocytobacillus (thermus aquaticus) isolated from a hot spring by Saiki et al., and then introduced into PCR technology, which greatly simplified the PCR reaction process and made its application in the clinic possible.
In 1989, the journal Science reported on PCR technology and high-temperature-resistant DNA polymerase, and Cetus also cooperated with Roche to use PCR technology for clinical diagnosis.
In 1991, Roche Pharmaceutical bought Cetus’ patent for PCR technology for $300 million.
In 1993, the jury decided to award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Mullis for the development of the polymerase chain reaction method (PCR).

With the development of molecular biology technology, molecular diagnostics include PCR (qPCR and dPCR), second-generation sequencing technology (NGS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and gene chips and other technology platforms with rapid development, and the use scenarios have also developed from genetic research, infectious disease diagnosis to early diagnosis of tumors, accompanying diagnosis, precision medicine and other frontier fields.
(1) PCR
Principle: DNA forms a single strand at high temperatures, and double-strands are formed at low temperatures according to the principle of base complementary pairing
Pros and cons: high sensitivity, strong specificity, simple and fast, but a single detection site, only known mutations can be detected.
Main application areas: infectious diseases, early diagnosis of tumors, genetic diseases
(2) FISH
Principle: Using the nucleic acid of the known sequence of fluorescence-specific labeling as a probe, hybridization with the nucleic acid in the cell or tissue section to accurately and quantitatively locate the specific nucleic acid sequence.
Pros and cons: high sensitivity, strong specificity, can be detected in situ on the tissue, but the detection cost is high; The operation is cumbersome, time-consuming and subjective.
Main application areas: virus detection, solid tumors, hematological tumors.
(3) NGS
Principle: Through the chemical modification of the template DNA molecule, it is anchored on the nanopores or microcarrier chips, and the interpretation of the base sequence is realized by collecting fluorescent labeling signals or chemical reaction signals by using the principle of base complementary pairing.
Pros and cons: large flux, high sensitivity, can detect a variety of mutations, but the test operation is complex, high cost, there is a certain inherent error rate.
Main application areas: early tumor screening, genomics, non-invasive prenatal diagnosis, clinical research
(4) Gene chips
Principle: Hybridization sequencing – a probe that fixes a sequenced known target nucleotide on the surface of a gene to determine the complementary matching of the sequence
Pros and cons: high flux, high sensitivity, high accuracy, but difficult to develop, low flexibility, small detection flux, only known genes can be detected
Main application areas: drug screening, new drug development, disease diagnosis
