DNA-based nanofabrications.
Beyond its biological importance, short DNA sequences are of increasing interest as excellent and versatile building blocks, in material science and nanotechnology. DNA nanotechnology has been rapidly developed and has branched into several significantly different directions. Controlling DNA nanostructures is one of the most important branches, in which well-defined static nanostructures are constructed from rationally designed DNA motifs. The diversity and complexity of such DNA nanostructures also endow them with promising applications in nanofabrications, nanoelectronics, biodiagnostics, and DNA computations. In this review, we will summarize our recent efforts in this direction.
