New DNA origami software release

New DNA origami software release

Monday, 01 September 2008 01:00

The SARSE - DNA origami package version 1.0 was released on the CDNA website (see intro page). The package makes it really easy to design complex DNA nanostructures. The package has a nice tutorial that goes through the steps involved in creating the logo of the University of Aarhus in DNA (see tutorial).

RNAi highlights

The DNA 'origami' method was extended into 3D to create an addressable DNA box on the nanometre scale that can be opened by externally supplied DNA 'keys'. The study appeared online in Nature, May 6, 2009:
