Abstract

Independent sets of DNA oligonucleotides, which only bind with their WatsonCrick complements, have potential use in self-assembly of nanostructures, since they minimize errors and inefficiency from unwanted binding. A software tool implemented a thermodynamic model for DNA duplex formation and was used to generate large independent sets of DNA oligonucleotides. The principle of the approach was experimentally verified on a sample set of oligonucleotides. © 2006 IEEE.
