TITTLE: Selections of aptamers and their applications in pollutant detection

ABSTRACT: 

Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that can identify targets such as cells, viruses, biomarkers, and small molecules with high affinity and specificity, and are widely used in many fields. This report focuses on the application of aptamers in the field of biosensing, starting from the beginning of aptamers in 1990. And then, SELEX, the technology to select aptamer for a specific target, and the application of aptamers in the field of rapid detection for environment or food contaminants will be introduced and discussed.
