Grand designs : DNA sequence symmetry is explored as a tool for designing DNA nanostructures. The resulting symmetric DNA motifs can self‐assemble into two‐dimensional arrays as wide as 1 mm (see picture). The DNA arrays can be used as templates to fabricate nanostructures of other materials, such as gold.
