title: Rapid Naked-Eye Discrimination of Cytochrome P450 Genetic Polymorphism through Non-Crosslinking Aggregation of DNA-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles.
abstract: The front cover artwork is provided by the group of Tohru Takarada at RIKEN (Japan). The image shows a colorimetric single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping method that uses spontaneous aggregation of DNA-modified gold nanoparticles (DNA-AuNPs) for the simple and rapid SNP genotyping of the human cytochrome P450 2C19 monooxygenase gene.
