A light on the tiles: A sensor that fluoresces in the presence of specific nucleic acids was designed and characterized. The sensor uses a molecular beacon probe and three adaptor strands to form a five‐stranded assembly, a DX‐tile, with a specific analyte. This sensor is a highly selective and affordable tool for the real‐time analysis of DNA and RNA.
