Preface

The goal of this brief is to give a summary of recent advances in “Quantum Dots for DNA Biosensing.” Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), as the genetic information carrier, encodes all the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms (bacteria, plants, yeast, and animals) and even many viruses. Due to its important function, the DNA-
