Abstract

Building with DNA: One route for assembling three-dimensional (3D) DNA nanostructures is to start with a long natural DNA single strand and attach short strands, or “staples,” that cause the entire “origami” structure to fold into a desired shape. Ke et al. (p. 1177 , see the cover; see the Perspective by Gothelf ) present an alternative approach to 3D assembly that builds upon modular assembly of 2D DNA tiles. One hundred and two distinct shapes were created from four-domain, 32-nucleotide single-stranded DNAs that assembled like children's blocks; each block could bind to four neighboring blocks through specific pairing interactions. Computer design and stepwise assembly allowed assembly of hollow shapes with a variety of internal cavities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
