Macroscopic supramolecular assembly to fabricate multiplexed DNA patterns for potential application in DNA chips

Abstract

Macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA) is a newly established methodology to construct supramolecular materials directly from large building blocks. Demonstrations of MSA for various functions are urgently needed to advance MSA from fundamental studies to practical uses. Here we propose the fabrication of DNA microarrays by combining MSA and magnetic-assisted localization.
