In this project, a novel disease diagnostic assay was developed, applying DNAzyme technology, for the sensitive detection of pathogenic DNA in the blood. Current means of diagnosing diseases are extremely costly or unreliable. This simple assay allows for the highly sensitive, reliable yet also cost-effective detection of any pathogens for under $10, allowing for the widespread adoption of genetic-based diagnosis for all pathogenic diseases.
