Abstract

The gut microbiome and its interactions with the host have been shown to affect several aspects of human health and disease. Investigations to elucidate these mechanisms typically involve sequence analysis of fecal samples. To support these studies, we present methods to design RNA toehold switch sensors to detect microbial and host transcripts. The sensors are embedded in paper-based, cell-free reactions that enable affordable and rapid analysis of microbiome samples.
