I am a PhD student of the GRK 1305/1 “Plant Signal Systems” program in The Freiburg University[http://www.plant-signals.uni-freiburg.de/]. I am working on the detection and visualization of Arabidopsis thaliana root mRNA in Prof. Palme’s research group[http://www.biologie.uni-freiburg.de/forschung/botanik.php]. I am interested in bringing science and design together. I like DNA and the iGEM Competition.

Individual project: Nike nano collection (Blouse and Skirt)
The dress design is more interesting than a chip design (in my opinion ;). It is very individual and very fashionable. We want to follow fashion, don’t we?
On the other hand, a broad range of variable forms can be important for an artificial life. I play with DNA like with my Barbie doll.
The idea was to knit a nice blouse for Barbie without any boundary conditions. I used two methods of knitting:
1) a rectilinear merge pattern, and
2) a staggered merge pattern
following the terms of Paul Rothemund. The first one is simpler to understand; the second one is more practical for patterning. Only when you use a staggered merge pattern can you put all hairpins onto one side of the knitted DNA sheet with maximal density.
Have a look at the pictures:
This design is for [http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/tech_reference/restriction_enzymes/sequences/m13mp18.txt M13mp18] scaffold DNA. I use the fork hairpin

to create the Nike-logo pattern.
The other ones would be:

Your choice!
My photos will help you.

Another pretty possibility is the hybrids (color)FP with DNA-binding proteins that bind to specific staples, e.g. [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J35030 BBa_J35030]
