Applications of High-Throughput Sequencing for In Vitro Selection and Characterization of Aptamers

Aptamers are identified through an iterative process of evolutionary selection starting from a random pool containing billions of sequences. Simultaneously to the amplification of high-affinity candidates, the diversity in the pool is exponentially reduced after several rounds of in vitro selection....
