Naturally existing or artificially synthesized templates with unique structures and morphologies have been used to fabricate nanostructured materials with the same structural and morphological characteristics as the templates.
Called Safe-Sequencing System (Safe-SeqS), the strategy entails tagging individual template molecules with unique identifiers (or barcodes), which are then amplified and read out by next generation DNA sequencing.
Ribosomes have been engineered to discriminate between different mRNA templates or with unique decoding properties, and many new applications of unnatural ribosomes can be foreseen.
Delignified chemical wood pulp fibers can be designed to have a controlled structure of cellulose fibril aggregates to serve as porous templates in biocomposites with unique properties.
Template-directed metal oxide electrode materials with unique structures could effectively improve the lithium storage properties through designing well-defined structure and favorable morphology.
We also sequenced templates with allele-specific primers for heterozygous individuals with unique alleles (i.e., the allele with the unique base substitution could not be determined).
This regulated autonomous deposition of the fibers will build patterned 3D-structure with unique properties on the surface of the templates, leading to a novel type of nanotechnology using biological systems with biomolecular nano-templates to design 3D-structures.
Such path-based identification of the nodes is not necessary in a COSMIC template if all internally reused archetype nodes are sufficiently replicated and assigned with unique identifications.
Rice as a renewable, abundant bio-resource with unique characteristics can be used as a bio-template to synthesize various functional nanomaterials.
The limited number of reactions not covered by one of the 16 major templates follow relatively unique templates, which is in accordance with the practice of using well-known and highly specific base mechanisms that give rise to a wide variety of templates.
