Predominance of research publications citing aptamers and antibodies for therapeutics and sensors. Whereas the reported applications of aptamers (blue bars) as sensors (hatched bars) outnumber reports of their use in therapeutics (open bars), the opposite is true for antibodies (yellow bars). Despite the bias against therapy applications of aptamers in the primary literature, most reviews that cite aptamers (green bars) cite therapeutics and many fewer cite sensors. This data was collected from Pubmed using the key words shown above and below the bars. The time period analyzed was 2010 to 2015, inclusive.
