Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic illustration of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). (B) Schematic illustration of CRISPR-Cas12a detection. Step 1: LAMP products are obtained. Protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sites guide the CRISPR/Cas12a-gRNA complex to recognize target sites. Step 2: Cas12a effectors are activated. Step 3: The activated effectors nonspecifically cleave single-stranded DNA reporter molecules by trans-cleavage. (C) Schematic illustration of the LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a assay workflow. The LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a assay involves three closely linked steps: rapid template preparation (step 1), LAMP reaction (step 2), and CRISPR-Cas12a cleavage and signal detection (step 3).
