Abstract
Isothermal methods, such as helicase-dependent amplification (HDA), have an advantage over polymerase chain reaction for DNA amplification owing to their ease of operation. Here, we developed a new HDA method that is nanoparticle-assisted, termed nanoHDA. This method uses gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to improve the sensitivity and specificity of the isothermal method. In HDA, the denaturation of DNA templates is mediated by helicases, but this method is limited by the low denaturation efficiency of helicases. In this report, AuNPs with preferential affinity for single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) were utilized to improve the denaturation efficiency of helicases. The same affinity property of nanoparticles can also enhance specificity by suppressing primer-dimer formation. This nanoHDA method was employed to genotype the KRAS gene in genomic DNA samples from colorectal cancer patients, as achieved by the hybridization of nanoHDA amplicons using the NanoBioArray chip.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
