DNA sequence design based on template strategy.

In DNA based computation and DNA nanotechnology, the design of proper DNA sequences has turned out to be an elementary problem. This paper takes a further look at the template strategy proposed in work by Frutos, A. G. et al. (Nucleic Acids Res. 1997, 25, 4748-4757). The H-measure proposed by Garzon et al. (Proceedings of the Second Annual Genetic Programming Conference, 1997; pp 472-487) is combined in this strategy to optimize the template and map sets obtained. Finally we describe a constructing method that can still produce more sequences by the results obtained in this paper.
