AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWWe integrate the elegance of monoid structures with the power of deep learning models, specifically Sequential variational autoencoders (SeqVAEs), to explore the vast and stability-dependent structural space of DNA origami. While existing computational tools provide well-established protocols for diverse applications, they lack large-scale datasets that could fully leverage modern computational power. To address this gap, we introduce an encoding framework based on the algebraic properties of Jones monoids. This approach enables both a top-down construction of DNA origami designs and a systematic understanding of how crossover arrangements influence overall shape. This work thus establishes a new framework for the design and analysis of DNA origami, bridging algebraic formalism with generative modeling.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
