Experiment type In vitro experiments for the division of DNA dropletscoupled with enzymatic reactions.
Summary DNA droplets are formed by the self-assembly of orthogonal Y-shaped DNA nanostructures (Y-motifs) and DNA linkers that crosslink Y-motifs. The cleavage of the DNA linkers by hybridizing with complementary sequences of miRNAs results in the division of DNA droplets. 
The timing control of DNA droplet division was demonstrated by controlling the release rate of complementary sequences of miRNAs from the miRNA/DNA hybrid by ribonuclease H-based enzymatic reactions. Additionally, controlling the release order of multiple complementary sequences of miRNAs corresponding to distinct DNA linkers induced order control of DNA linker cleavage, resulting in the multistep droplet division, i.e., pathway-controlled division in a reaction landscape. 
Furthermore, the fluidity of single Y-motif-based DNA droplets was lower than that of DNA droplets containing multiple Y-motifs and DNA linkers due to high multi-valency of the linker having 6 branches.
