Modeling of Self-Assembling DNA Paper is Published

Dr. Amanda Harsy, Math Students, Alumni Publish Paper on Graph Theoretical Modeling of Self-Assembling DNA

Published: April 3, 2023.

A team of ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â math faculty, students and alumni recently published their paper, "" in The PUMP Journal of Undergraduate Research Vol. 6.

Authors of the article included Dr. Amanda Harsy, associate professor of mathematics and director of Mathematics, along with ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â undergraduates Miles Mena (mathematics and data science), Megan Vesta (math and computer science), and recent graduates Eric Redmon (mathematics and computer science ),  Alvi Renzyl Cortes (biology), Lauren Gernes (mathematics and computer science),  Simon Merheb (computer engineering major and mathematics minor), Nick Soto (computer science major and mathematics minor), and Chandler Stimpert (mathematics).

The paper shares their results of applying graph theoretical and linear algebra techniques for constructing crossed-prism graphs, crown graphs, book graphs, stacked book graphs, and helm graphs, along with kite, cricket, and moth graphs using tile-based self-assembling DNA in two sets of laboratory constraints.

Funding for this research was provided by ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â's Caterpillar Grant, Doherty Center Grant, and Dr. James Girard Summer Undergraduate Research Program
