This term was invented by Martin Schneider on the Rule 110 Winter Workshop in 2004 [1]. We play without rules. We discover the rules that govern life, the universe and everything to exploit these rules and to create Artificial Life. Our short-time aim is the trip to Boston in November 2006 to take a prize in the iGEM.
The Freiburg Team (well, at least half of it...) from left to right: Irina Petrova, Andrei Kouznetsov, Daniel Hautzinger.

The project: DNA Folding
Basic Idea
Abstract
The idea is to design a strand of DNA such that it wraps into some meaningful shape. There are three different stages for this project: First, the DNA should fold into a two-dimensional rectangular sheet. Secondly, this sheet should wrap itself up into the shape of a short pipe. And last, these little pipes should hook themselves up to each other such that they form one single long pipe.
Scetches - Pipes
The DNA sequence for the Pipes design can be found here.
Application: Barbie Nanoatelier
Once the process of DNA folding into 3D-structures is understood, shapes can be chosen arbitrarily. The idea of the Barbie Nanoatelier is that the DNA should wrap into a 3D-TShirt, 3D-Pants, etc.
