Hi Aayush,
IRES = "Internal Ribosomal Entry Site", right? If so, aren't you
talking about an RNA sequence? The "Aptamer" to bind that would just be
the reverse complement, if I'm not mistaken.

What are you looking to achieve? To merely detect the sequence, or to
block it, or something else?

Best,
Cathal
