Abstract

DNA-based nanosystems have emerged as an interdisciplinary field that draws on computer science, biochemistry, material science, and engineering. Although the field is still in its infancy, fundamental methodologies to build up large-scale complex nanosystems have been already established. In this paper, we review several recent topics in the DNA-based nanosystems, as they were presented on Kavli Japanese-American Frontier of Science meeting by Erik Winfree, Satoshi Murata, and Milan Stojanovic.
