DNA Image Pro -- A Tool for Generating Pixel Patterns using DNA Tile Assembly
Self-assembly is a process found everywhere in the Nature. In particular, it
is known that DNA self-assembly is Turing universal. Thus one can do arbitrary
computations or build nano-structures using DNA self-assembly. In order to
understand the DNA self-assembly process, many mathematical models have been
proposed in the literature. In particular, abstract Tile Assembly Model (aTAM)
received much attention. In this work, we investigate pixel pattern generation
using aTAM. For a given image, a tile assembly system is given which can
generate the image by self-assembly process. We also consider image blocks with
specific cyclic pixel patterns (uniform shift and non uniform shift) self
assembly. A software, DNA Image Pro, for generating pixel patterns using DNA
tile assembly is also given.Comment: 14 pages, draf
