title: Aligned carbon nanotube-DNA electrochemical sensors.
abstract: Single-strand DNA chains were chemically grafted onto aligned carbon nanotube electrodes, leading to novel aligned carbon nanotube-DNA sensors of a high sensitivity and selectivity for probing complementary DNA and target DNA chains of specific sequences.
