Protocol | Details: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aba3471 The liquid-liquid phase separation droplets with DNA (called 'DNA droplets') are composed of Y-shaped DNA nanostructures (Y-motif). The Y-motif is composed of three single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs): Y1, Y2, and Y3 (below). The stem parts of the Y-motif have 16 base pairs that hybridized at 75°C in a buffer condition [20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 350 mM NaCl]; the sticky-end (SE) is a palindromic 8–nucleotide (nt) sequence, and the same is true for the three branches of the Y-motif, allowing for connections among the Y-motifs. All strands are mixed in the buffer solution, and the motifs are annealed on the stage heater from 95°C at a rate of −1°C/min to 25°C.
