Excited to share our recent work published @NatureChemistry today! We developed an approach for rapid discovery of aptamers with precisely defined binding affinities. I want to thank @KelleyLabs at @UofT and @NorthwesternU, with special thanks @ShanaOKelley @DanielWang_SC
Programmable affinity #aptamer selection paper out today in @NatureChemistry - awesome work from @DingranChang and @DanielWang_SC! nature.com/articles/s41557-0…
