    Biocom reports: Recombinase polymerase amplification of RPA is known as a nucleic acid detection technology that can replace PCR .


    More than 40 years have passed since mankind "declared war" on cancer, and this malignant disease is still a lingering shadow


    RPA for cancer mutation detection

    The Singapore A*STAR research team published in Lab on a Chip magazine last June , a new technology that can quickly detect single point mutations in cancer, Isothermal Solid Phase Amplification / Detection ( ISAD )


    In this study, ISAD was mainly used to detect single point mutations in the HRAS ( Harvey RAS ) gene


    Studies have shown that the sensitivity of ISAD technology is one hundred times higher than that of RPA and traditional PCR methods .


    RPA is used for anti-cancer drug screening

    Last October, a cancer study using RPA technology was also published in Talanta magazine .


    An aptamer is a single-stranded short DNA .


    The researchers optimized on the basis of BBC analysis, using Cyto-c specific aptamers, and replacing the time-consuming PCR with isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification ( RPA ) .
