How to cite DnaOS
If DnaOS helped a figure, a thesis chapter, or a class report, please cite the studio so others can find it.
Please mention the tool in your article — or in whatever you used it for: a paper, thesis, poster, talk, or class report.
If you publish work that used DnaOS, please keep this citation request visible so the studio stays findable.
This is a courtesy citation, not a claim of authorship over your DNA designs. Your sequences and figures remain yours. DnaOS is licensed under GPL-3.0 — see License.
Methods papers
Scientific methods used in DnaOS (origami, honeycomb lattices, cages, DX tiles, nearest-neighbor thermodynamics, coarse-grained MD, and spanning-tree routing). Same list as Foundations on the home page. Cite a paper in addition to DnaOS when that method is relevant — not as a claim that DnaOS is affiliated with those groups.
