Another virtue of my experiments is that I use the same long single strand over and over again (the natural virus sequence) and I just change the ∼200 short staple strands. This means I don't have to do a custom long synthesis every time I want to make a new structure. -Paul Rothemund

Even by the time I was making smiley faces, I didn't really believe that the method worked as well as it did.

We actually fold the DNA into any shape that we want. So in the case of the smiley faces that I made, I actually fold the DNA into a disk, but then leave two holes for the eyes and the mouth.
