DNA nanoflowers , a category of DNA–inorganic hybrid nanostructures, possess flower‐like morphology and porous structure. The highly repetitive sequences in DNA nanoflowers maximize the performance of functional DNA. Hybridization with inorganic materials offers extra functions, such as nuclease degradation resistance, catalytic action, and acid responsiveness, which are beneficial to applications in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics.
