Abstract

An oligonucleotide–polymer hybrid hydrogel displaying swelling response in a logical AND and OR fashion depending on specific stimuli by probe oligonucleotides was prepared. The hydrogel acts as a transducer of the specific recognition of DNA sequences into micro- and macroscale mechanics. Input oligonucleotide probes induce hydrogel swelling ratio at two signal levels.
