title: Two-dimensional (2D) DNA crystals assembled from two DNA strands.
abstract: Sequence symmetry has been used to simplify the design of a DNA double-crossover (DX) molecule. The resulting DX molecule can self-assemble into two-dimensional (2D) crystalline arrays, but only requires two instead of otherwise four different DNA strands.
