Genetic encoding of DNA nanostructures and their self-assembly in living bacteria

DNA nanostructures have the potential to be powerful tools in many areas of biology however they are difficult to manufacture completely in vivo. Here the authors combine RNA hairpins and reverse transcription to generate and assemble a complex DNA structure inside the cellular environment.
