Survey of Rounds to Completion in SELEX Experiments. Plotted is a summary of 26 publications from 2003 to mid-2006 in which SELEX experiments were reported that resulted in the cloning of one of more aptamers. The number of rounds performed before the aptamers were cloned was determined for each instance and the number of instances is plotted against the number of rounds prior to cloning. The number of rounds prior to cloning varied from 7 to 22 with a mean of 12 ± 4 and a median of 12.
