AptaPilot rescues the aptamer experiments that got stuck

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Waterloo-based aptamer discovery service and software platform for recovering stalled SELEX selections, finding binders, and characterizing candidates.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-13 issue.

Field notes

The workflow begins with either a stalled enriched pool or a target and ends in a ranked shortlist, validated aptamer, or characterization report. The page emphasizes real-buffer folding, G-quadruplex detection, family clustering, and Kd fitting rather than treating sequence analysis as a generic black box. It also reports training on hundreds of Liu-lab pools and describes a roughly 30% rescue rate across failed selections, with six genuine families recovered so far.
