title: "Smart" DNA interfaces.
abstract: This review focuses on surface-grafted DNA, and its use as a molecular building block that exploits its unique properties as a directional (poly)anion that exhibits molecular recognition. The selected examples highlight innovative applications of DNA at surfaces and interfaces ranging from molecular diagnostics and sequencing to biosensing.
