US Patent 11884921 Signal boost cascade assay

The present disclosure relates to compositions of matter and assay methods used to detect one or more target nucleic acids of interest in a sample. The compositions and methods provide signal boost upon detection of target nucleic acids of interest in less than one minute and in some instances instantaneously at ambient temperatures down to 16° C. or less, without amplification of the target nucleic acids yet allowing for massive multiplexing, high accuracy and minimal non-specific signal generation.
