Genetic identity
Genetic identity. Conceptual computer artwork of a hand, a fingerprint and a DNA microarray. These represent genetic fingerprinting and genetic identity. A DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) microarray is used to study thousands of genes at once. It is used to link genetic samples with known genes. The microarray is a large array of possible genes used to test the samples. If any of the samples match genes in the array, they bind to that site to form these coloured dots. The pattern of colours is then analysed. Microarrays can be used to study gene expression or detect mutations. Fingerprints are patterns of ridges on the fingertips. Both DNA and fingerprints are unique to each individual

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Genetic Identity" showcases a mesmerizing blend of science and art. In this conceptual computer artwork, we see the powerful symbols of a hand, a fingerprint, and a DNA microarray coming together to represent the fascinating world of genetic fingerprinting and genetic identity. The DNA microarray depicted here is an innovative technique used in genetic research to study thousands of genes simultaneously. It acts as a bridge between genetic samples and known genes, allowing scientists to link them together. The array consists of numerous possible genes that are tested against the samples. When there is a match between the sample and any gene on the array, they bind together forming vibrant colored dots that create an intricate pattern. Fingerprints, those unique patterns of ridges on our fingertips, also play a significant role in identifying individuals. Just like our DNA, fingerprints are distinct for each person. This thought-provoking image beautifully captures the essence of genetics and its impact on our understanding of human identity. It represents how advancements in biochemistry, biotechnology, genomics, proteomics, forensics, and biometrics have revolutionized scientific research. Science Photo Library has once again offered us an awe-inspiring glimpse into the world where art meets science through this stunning illustration.
