Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, I focused on the to development of a novel gene detection system by utilizing "bioluminescence", which was unexplored in the field of gene detection technology. To achieve this goal, I carried out the following two studies. In the first study, I developed a system to convert sequence information into bioluminescence signal. I designed and chemically synthesized novel nucleic acid probe that releases a bioluminescent substrate upon binding to the target sequence. In the second study, I have developed the method for introducing guanidine nucleic acid, which possesses positive charges instead of negative charges, into oligonucleotide with the aim to strengthen the function of nucleic acid probe.
