Background:

Tile-based DNA self-assembly is a key technique in nanotechnology.
Gross damage, caused by external factors, can disrupt self-assembled nanostructures.
Understanding and mitigating damage is crucial for reliable nanomanufacturing.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel model for analyzing gross damage in DNA self-assembly nanomanufacturing.
To introduce and define 'resilience' as the probability of pattern regrowth in damaged areas.
To investigate the conditions influencing favorable regrowth versus normal growth.

Main Methods:

Modeling gross damage as a 'hole' in the self-assembled aggregate.
Employing stochastic analysis using Markov chains for tile binding and regrowth.
