Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for identifying one or more nucleic acid agents, e.g., aptamers, having a desired property from a mixture of candidate nucleic acid agents. The method generally includes immobilizing the mixture of candidate nucleic acid agents onto particles, wherein only a subset of the candidate nucleic acid agents are immobilized on any one of the particles, and wherein the subset is present in multiple copies. The particles are exposed to a target, and particles including candidate nucleic acid agents having the desired property are isolated. In this way, one or more nucleic acid agents having the desired property may be identified. Related compositions and nucleic acid agents identified as having one or more desired properties are also provided.
