6 DNA origami is a nanoscale DNA folding technique whereby long, single-stranded pieces DNA self-assemble into two- and three-dimensional shapes. To coax the DNA into a specific shape, shorter ...

Nanoscopic DNA chips assembled using the DNA origami method enable target detection in solution and hold promise for single-cell gene expression analysis. In 2006 Paul Rothemund of the California ...

“It’s a fantastic paper,” says Ashwin Gopinath, a biomechanical engineer at MIT who was not ... scientists can use it to create a vast array of structures of different shapes and sizes. The term DNA ...

An LMU research team has significantly improved conventional test strips by building a nanoscale amplifier from DNA origami. This allows signals from biomarkers which indicate the presence of ...

In DNA origami, DNA is folded—akin to the Japanese art of paper folding—to create nanoscale structures of virtually any shape. In this case, the researchers engineered a nanoscale amplifier ...
