Abstract :
Elements of the design, synthesis, cloning, amplification, isolation and characterization of template strands of DNA applicable to the parallel construction of nanostructures via sequential assembly processes are described. Particularly, codes have been filed within bacteria which can be accessed to obtain one micron long single stranded DNA molecules which contain multiple copies of a 32nm repetitive sequence. Characterization of these template strands has been performed using atomic force microscopy.
