The design and synthesis of DNA and RNA sensors are critical towards the improvement of early diagnosis of various diseases. In this paper, we discuss our recent efforts to construct a sensor based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and graphene oxide (GO) for the detection of synthetic viral oligonucleotide targets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
