We retry to make QR code using DNA origami method this time. Our team previously tried to make QR code using DNA origami method, in BIOMOD 2014. By using the dumbbell hairpin for the QR code dots, the DNA origami structure was expressed with a height difference. Therefore three DNA origami structures were required due to the position of the dumbbell hairpin in order to produce QR code. However, it was difficult to conjugate due to repulsion among DNA origami structures, and QR code could not be expressed. Then, we will reconsider the position of dumbbell hairpins and express the QR code with one DNA origami structure. We read QR code of DNA origami structures from AFM images using the camera application. Then if we can say that we succeeded in developing the smallest information medium in the world.

PROJECT
In recent years, information-oriented society has developed rapidly, and how fast information can be obtained
GOAL
Our goal is that we design DNA QR code by the other method, which our seniors couldn’t design 4 years ago.
DESIGN
We made QR code with DNA origami before. We expressed black parts of the QR code with dumbbell hairpins.
EXPERIMENT
The road to design completion of the QR code · Setting of folding patterns and number of bases · Design a simplified
FUTURE
If you can create a nano-sized QR code, it will be a measure against information leakage. This is because in order to
