Scientific paper

Molecular biology techniques have enabled us to prepare and select RNA aptamers that can bind specifically to small targets. RNA oligonucleotides can also be used as fluorescent probes. We have combined the two approaches to obtain Aptamer Beacons, in which molecular recognition is linked to the emission of an optical signal. These RNA biosensors could be used to detect directly the signatures of life in samples of mineral and extra-terrestrial material.
