[0076] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0077] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0078] As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0079] One embodiment of the present application provides a nucleic acid molecule for nucleic acid detection, which is formed by connecting a first nucleic acid region marked with a marker to a second nucleic acid region through a sensitization connection region; the first nucleic acid region and the second nucleic acid region do not form a double-stranded structure region with complementary pairing.

[0080] In a specific example, the first nucleic acid region is a single-stranded nucleic acid to be cut; wherein, the single-stranded nucleic acid to be cut presents different detection states when it is cut by the Cas protein and when it is not cut, and is thus detected.

[0081] In a specific example, the second nucleic acid region includes a stem-loop structure region and a specific nucleic acid region that binds to the target nucleic acid; the stem-loop structure region is a nucleic acid that can guide the Cas protein to specifically bind to the target nucleic acid.

[0100] In one embodiment, the label includes a fluorescent group and a quencher group.

[0101] In one embodiment, the label includes one of the ligand-receptor members and further includes a fluorescent group or a quencher group.

[0102] In a specific example, the fluorescent group includes any one of FAM, HEX, TET, NED, ROX, CY5, CY3, TFAM and VIC.

[0105] In a specific example, the marker can be labeled on the 3' end and the 5' end of the single-stranded nucleic acid fragment to be cut. Optionally, different markers are labeled at different positions on the single-stranded nucleic acid fragment to be cut. For example, the fluorescent group is labeled on the 3' end of the single-stranded nucleic acid fragment to be cut, and the quencher group is labeled on the 5' end of the single-stranded nucleic acid fragment to be cut; or, the fluorescent group is labeled on the 5' end of the single-stranded nucleic acid fragment to be cut, and the quencher group is labeled on the 3' end of the single-stranded nucleic acid fragment to be cut.
