title: New trends in nucleic acid based biosensors: University of Florence (Italy), 25-28 October 2003.
abstract: The Workshop on "New Trends in Nucleic Acids Based Biosensors" was held at the University of Florence (Italy), from 25th to 28th October 2003. The workshop was funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF) within the programme "Functional Genomics" (Programme Area: DNA arrays and chips). This report describes the main arguments discussed during the workshop considering the state of art and the future trends in the field of nucleic acid-based biosensors, with particular attention on the aptamer field.
