Abstract
Precision healthcare aims to improve patient health by integrating prevention measures with early disease detection for prompt treatments. For the delivery of preventive healthcare, cutting-edge diagnostics that enable early disease detection must be clinically adopted. Duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) is a useful tool for bioanalysis since it can precisely digest DNA contained in duplexes. DSN is commonly used in biomedical and life science applications, including the construction of cDNA libraries, detection of microRNA, and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) recognition. Herein, following the comprehensive introduction to the field, we highlight the clinical applicability, multi-analyte miRNA, and SNP clinical assays for disease diagnosis through large-cohort studies using DSN-based fluorescent methods. In fluorescent platforms, the signal is produced based on the probe (dyes, TaqMan, or molecular beacon) properties in proportion to the target concentration. We outline the reported fluorescent biosensors for SNP detection in the next section. This review aims to capture current knowledge of the overlapping miRNAs and SNPs' detection that have been widely associated with the pathophysiology of cancer, cardiovascular, neural, and viral diseases. We further highlight the proficiency of DSN-based approaches in complex biological matrices or those constructed on novel nano-architectures. The outlooks on the progress in this field are discussed.

Abstract
Duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) from hepatopancreas of the craboid Paralithodes camtschaticus (red king crab) has a unique combination of properties. Along with thermal stability and a high optimal temperature of catalysis, this enzyme exhibits high substrate selectivity, cleaving only DNA in duplexes (DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA). Accordingly, it digests neither single strands (nor single-stranded regions) of DNA, nor RNA strands with any secondary structure. Such properties make it possible to create unique protocols based on DSN, which is also an important object of fundamental research in the field of nuclease evolution. The review considers diverse applications of the red king crab DSN in modern methods of molecular biology.
