Aptamer

An aptamer is an "in vitro selected short single–stranded DNA or RNA with high binding affinity and specificity to various target molecules by folding into defined tertiary structures.  Aptamers for different targets can be produced from random–sequence DNA or RNA libraries by a process called SELEX after a few rounds of affinity selection and amplification"1
