I edited the Overview a little bit to remove "current" as this method is a little older nowadays. added a bit of emphasis on bottom-up fabrication as I feel that self-assembly is pretty critical for this

I really feel that Ned Seeman, should be credited as pioneering the DNA origami, Paul describes it here,

N. Seeman credits Rothemund with the discovery of the specific technique of DNA origami in this review

in the May 6, 2009 _Nature,_ Geoff Brumfiel writes about researchers using DNA Origami to make 3 dimensional DNA strongboxes measuring just 30 nanometers on each side. The boxes can be unlocked using gene keys or even a series of keys that must be presented in the correct order. These boxes are designed in software that makes a DNA sequence that will naturally fold into the shape of the box, complete with lid and code to open it. dkliman (talk) 04:50, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the BYU thing. Their technique presented in Nano Letters this year is fine but there are several other contributions of the same magnitude that needs to be mentioned in the same category in that case. I think the article would become too technical in that case so in fairness to all the other DNA origami advances this year, I just removed it.
