The invention belongs to the field of
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
biosynthesis, and in particular relates to a method for synthesizing a short
single strand deoxyribonucleotide probe and application thereof. The short
single strand deoxyribonucleotide probe can be used for detecting small non-coding ribonucleic acid (
RNA) such as micro ribonucleic acid. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) preparing plasmids recombined with template
DNA; (2)
cutting and connecting the template
DNA, performing
enzyme digestion on the recombined plasmids to obtain the template DNA, and connecting the template DNA end to end to form a ring; (3)
cutting a
single strand, performing rolling-circle replication,
cutting one strand of the template DNA by using nickase, adding
polymerase to perform rolling-circle replication by taking annular DNA with a nick as a template, and amplifying to obtain
a DNA single strand containing a neck ring-probe structure; and (4) preparing target short
single strand DNA, cutting the product of the step (3) by using a type II incision
enzyme to form a target
single strand DNA probe and a byproduct DNA, and separating and purifying through PAGE (polyacylamide
gel electrophoresis) to obtain a
single strand DNA probe without
mutation. The short single strand
deoxyribonucleotide probe has wide applications in the fields of detection of small non-coding
RNA and diagnosis and treatment of small non-coding
RNA related diseases.
