image: A large number of DNA bricks can produce three-dimensional shapes, such as a cuboid that is depicted by a DNA brick model and a DNA strand model. Each brick carries a unique sequence that directs it to fit only to its predesigned position. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the Nov. 30, 2012, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by Yonggang Ke at Harvard University in Boston, Mass. and colleagues was titled, "Three-Dimensional Structures Self-Assembled from DNA Bricks." view more
