Versatile kit of robust nanoshapes self-assembling from RNA and DNA modules

DNA and RNA have been used for nanotechnology applications, though rarely in combination. Here the authors report the use of RNA motifs as structural joints with DNA building blocks for enhanced construction of small multi-component nanoshapes.
