However, the efficient integration of Cas12a trans-cleavage with direct miRNA recognition and signal amplification remains challenging, particularly because conventional assay designs often rely on multiple probes or a single activation pathway. Here, we developed SPRINT-Cas12a, a single-probe RNA-triggered integrated trans-cleavage platform for sensitive miRNA detection. In this design, a leading hairpin probe (L-HP) specifically recognizes the target miRNA and initiates polymerase-mediated cascade isothermal amplification, synchronously generating two structurally distinct Cas12a-activating products: an RNA−DNA complex and a long-chain micro-hairpin probe (L-MHP). These products provide complementary activation pathways for Cas12a, thereby promoting reporter cleavage and fluorescence signal generation. The single-probe architecture simplifies probe design while enabling synergistic signal amplification through dual-pathway Cas12a activation. The platform was successfully adapted for the detection of miR-21 and miR-122, two miRNAs with distinct sequences, demonstrating its modularity and sequence versatility. Using miR-192 as a hepatocellular carcinoma-associated target, the method achieved sensitive detection in serum samples and distinguished patients with hepatocellular carcinoma from healthy controls, with results consistent with stem-loop quantitative reverse-transcription PCR. In addition, the platform was coupled with a lateral flow assay to provide an instrument-free visual readout. Depending on the amplification and readout format, the assay could be completed within 90 min to 120 min using simple laboratory equipment. Overall, SPRINT-Cas12a provides a single-probe, dual-pathway strategy for Cas12a-mediated miRNA detection and shows promise for portable molecular diagnostics and point-of-care testing.","PeriodicalId":27,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Chemistry","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These interconnected operations limit analytical throughput and can introduce uncertainty when noisy or nonideal trajectories are processed. Here, we report the expert-supervised, AI agent-enabled development of DataYee, an integrated platform for AFM-SMFS analysis. The previously developed platform is referred to as original DataYee, whereas the version developed in this study is referred to as enhanced DataYee. During development, the AI agent assisted with literature retrieval, codebase navigation, coordinated modification of multiple software modules, refactoring, and debugging. Researchers defined the analytical requirements and verified the physical models, parameter constraints, software behavior, and experimental outputs. Enhanced DataYee combines convolutional neural network-based prescreening with support vector machine classification using interpretable mechanical features, noise-adaptive fitting window selection, worm-like regime crossover-informed multi-start worm-like chain fitting, and domain annotation constrained jointly by contour-length increments and unfolding forces. Functional refinements further improve data import, curve management, exception handling, and routine operation. Evaluation using a representative AFM-SMFS data set showed that enhanced DataYee improved the fitting and retention of noisy or nonideal trajectories while substantially reducing the number of curves requiring expert review. Following targeted expert verification, the resulting unfolding-force distribution remained consistent with manual analysis while including more validated molecular events. Enhanced DataYee therefore provides an efficient and traceable expert-in-the-loop workflow for high-throughput SMFS analysis and demonstrates how AI agents can support the scientifically supervised development of laboratory analytical software.","PeriodicalId":27,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Chemistry","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
