Machine learning guided aptamer refinement and discovery

Current aptamer discovery approaches are unable to probe the complete space of possible sequences. Here, the authors use machine learning to facilitate the development of DNA aptamers with improved binding affinities, and truncate them without significantly compromising binding affinity.
