Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Here, we transform this otherwise destructive enzymatic activity into a powerful diagnostic advantage through an RNase I–assisted rolling circle amplification (RI‐RCA) strategy. By integrating controlled RNase I–mediated RNA digestion with circular DNA templates, this approach enables direct and highly sensitive detection of target RNA sequences. Using
