Abstract

DNA jigsaw pieces enable the preparation of predesigned unidirectional DNA assemblies by using a programmed‐assembly system. In their Full Paper on page 5362 ff., M. Endo, H. Sugiyama et al. describe how DNA jigsaw piece monomers were assembled preferentially through defined connections in a “key‐and‐lock” fashion after slow annealing. Additionally, DNA jigsaw pieces with alphabet letters were arranged to display three‐, four‐, and five‐letter words.
