The creation of DNA-based structures involves several techniques, including:
1. DNA Origami: This technique involves folding a long single-stranded DNA molecule into desired shapes using short staple strands that bind to specific sequences on the long strand. 2. Self-Assembly: DNA strands can be designed to self-assemble into complex structures based on their sequence-specific interactions. 3. Tile-Based Assembly: DNA tiles are small, rigid DNA motifs that can be programmed to assemble into larger structures through complementary base pairing.
