Figure Lengend Snippet: Influence of buffer concentrations on PAM site tolerance by LbCas12a. Titration of NEBuffer 2.1 indicated that a 5× concentration most effectively differentiated between lineages by modulating LbCas12a's tolerance for suboptimal PAM sites in Atlantic Subclade lineages 2–4, emphasizing the importance of buffer conditions in assay specificity. A total of 1 ng of tissue extracted DNA was used in each RPA‐CRISPR‐Cas reaction.
Article Snippet: Buffer optimisation was similarly assessed by varying NEBuffer 2.1 concentrations, with the optimal condition defined as the one yielding the highest specificity without loss of sensitivity.
