Abstract
With the current rapid development of nanotechnology and synthesis technology for designed oligonucleotides or oligonucleotide-modified nanoparticle conjugates, the combined strategies have become one of the most valuable methods in detection technology for DNA analysis. Using the uniquely recognizable interactions of pre-designed DNA molecules in assembling nanoparticles, various novel approaches have been recently developed towards detecting specific DNA sequences. Here we describe the key fundamentals and issues of this promising strategies ranging from the initial findings of rationally designed DNA-based assembly of nanoparticles to the extended chip-based detection system. Some limitations of these new strategies and possible approaches will be also discussed for the practical application in the area of DNA microarray detection.
