hsa-mir-133a-3p RCT Padlock Probe
This part is the sequence for the hsa-miR-133a-3p RCT Padlock Probe, which our team designed to be specific to hsa-miR-133a-3p (BBa_K4245009). This miRNA acts as a biomarker for coronary artery disease and is therefore potentially useful for the early detection of this condition.

Figure 1. The rolling circle transcription approach applied to our padlock probe.

When the target miRNA is present, the miRNA and the padlock probe arms form a DNA-RNA hybridization. The introduction of SplintR ligase circularizes the padlock probe, allowing T7 RNA polymerase to attach and begin transcription (Wang et al., 2014). The product is a long, single-stranded RNA transcript that contains many copies of the reverse complement of the template strand, the padlock probe (Clausson et al., 2015) (see Fig. 1).
