Fluorescent DNA–AgNCs have emerged as an alternative to standard emitters because of their unique properties: high fluorescent quantum yield, photostability, a broad pallet of colors (blue to near‐IR), and the fact that their properties are easily modulated by the DNA sequence and environment. Applications as gene, ion, or small‐molecule sensors have been reported.
