The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Arizona State University have designed a computer program that can print any free-form drawing as a 2D nanoscale structure made of DNA.

In nature, this cross-shaped, double-stacked DNA structure is like the 4-way traffic stop of genetics – where 2 separate DNA helices temporality meet to exchange genetic information. The Holliday ...

Third, thermodynamic studies with 2D probes (single- or triple-stem structure) have demonstrated their capability to sensitively discriminate single-base mismatched DNA. However, it should be ...

The free, open-source software, designed by a team of scientists from MIT and Arizona State University, lets anyone create 2D nanostructures ... and tri-dimensional DNA structure.

"The precise DNA structure depends on the specific amount of water surrounding the molecule," summarizes Dr. Fahmy. Analyses of the genetic material were conducted at the HZDR by the doctoral ...
