Oligonucleotide‐modified submicrometer‐sized silica nanospheres that are color‐encoded by embedded luminescent QDs and that can be further functionalized by DNA–protein conjugates are described. This approach provides a facile route to specifically encode and functionalize particles for biological and biomedical applications.
