Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: This artist creates intricate origami designs that change shapes. Jasen Zhang uses modular-origami techniques to make them. Each shape is made of ...

In this method—which he termed 'origami'—a long DNA molecule is folded into a predesigned shape by short oligonucleotide 'staples'. The components are heat-denatured, and they then self ...

DNA is a super flexible and modular structure, meaning that with the right sequences, scientists can use it to create a vast array of structures of different shapes and sizes. The term DNA origami was ...

Because DNA's makeup is determined by a simple set of rules (A pairs with T, C pairs with G), applying shape grammars to DNA origami was an easy choice for the research team, who created such ...

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 ...
