Another great dna-nanotech method for the bootstrapping from soft-nanotech to something more robust.

The more I think about this, the more excited I get.

David Liu's work can be generalised more than he's indicated here. This work can combine with all the recent dna-nanotech advances like the recent junction twists that allows for 3d dna-nanomanufacturing. One could imagine placing these templates on any desired dna-origami shape for any number of purposes and growing any number of synthetic polymers.
