Multi-feature Classification to Improve Colorimetric Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Fidelity (opens in new tab)

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a cost-effective and portable assay technique for performing nucleic acid-based diagnostics in the field whose adoption is hindered by design and reproducibility issues. This is due to a complex primer design process that fine-tunes parameters across 6-8 binding regions. The likelihood of assay success depends on satisfying thermodynamic and secondary structure constraints while maintaining target specificity and avoiding overlaps between multi...
