DNA origami technique is able to produce a variety of different shapes by constraining a long single stranded DNA molecule with a large number of short oligonucleotides. By designing and observing DNA origamis of Slovenia, we demonstrated that DNA origami technique can be used for construction of irregular asymmetric shapes. High school student research project including these results was awarded gold prize at the national competition of young researchers. The feasibility of this technique enabled us to explore further applications in material science and medicine.
