Paul thinks that someone with the right facilities could adapt known methods to solve this problem rather quickly, and I agree. We’ll see who gets there first. [Update] I should perhaps mention that, according to a paper on “Citation C!assics” [pdf], …methods papers…tend to make strong showings in these lists of highly cited papers. The papers in this group demonstrate the importance of methodology and technology in propelling scientific research…. [Update] Paul suggests that I add a link to the first post in this mini-series, which pointed to the scarcity of facilities for cryo-electron microscopy and (tomography in particular) as a motivation for looking at these other techniques: “A DNA-Imaging Bottleneck” [...] [...] In short: This is an important problem (helping SDN researchers see what they’re doing), and solving it can help solve an even more important problem (making dry composite nanosystems from wet DNA nanostructures).
