    Abstract:
    DNA computers are considered one of the most prominent next-generation molecular computers that perform Boolean logic using DNA elements. DNA-based Boolean logic gates, especially DNA strand displacement-based logic gates (SDLGs), have shown tremendous potential in biosensing since they can perform the logic analysis of multi-targets simultaneously. Moreover, SDLG biosensors generate a unique output in the form of YES/NO, which is contrary to the quantitative measurement used in common biosensors. In this review, the recent achievements of SDLG biosensing strategies are summarized. Initially, the development and mechanisms of Boolean logic gates, strand-displacement reaction, and SDLGs are introduced. Afterwards, the diversified input and output of SDLG biosensors are elaborated. Then, the state-of-the-art SDLG biosensors are reviewed in the classification of different signal-amplification methods, such as rolling circle amplification, catalytic hairpin assembly, strand-displacement amplification, DNA molecular machines, and DNAzymes. Most importantly, limitations and future trends are discussed. The technology reviewed here is a promising tool for multi-input analysis and lays a foundation for intelligent diagnostics.
