The number of deoxynucleotides determines if the self-assembly yields 1D or 2D structures. A single guanosine nucleotide attached to a heptapyrenotide induces chiroptical activity in self-assembled nanosheets.

The expected performance of these loci for personal identification and paternity testing in this population was estimated.
