Fig. 4. Sequence-dependent fusion control in DNA droplets.

Fig. 4

(A) Schematic illustrations of the selective fusion in the Y- and orthogonal Y-motifs (orthY-motif). (B) Time series of microscopic images representing fusion events for the droplets composed of the Y-motifs (box with solid line at t = 0 s) and orthY-motifs (box with dashed line at t = 70 s). Blue and green channels indicate orthY- (Alexa405) and Y-motifs (FAM), respectively. (C) Six-junction motif (S-motif) having SEs for the Y- and orthY-motifs. (D) Schematic of DNA droplets composed of the Y-, orthY-, and S-motifs. (E and F) Microscopic images and time series of the fusion of DNA droplets composed of the Y-, orthY-, and S-motifs. Scale bars, 10 μm.
