Man displaying DNA Nucleobases
Conceptual computer illustration of a man displaying initials of the primary nucleobases of DNA: cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine. Behind him is a graphic presentation of an autoradiograph showing bands of DNA produced by the technique of electrophoresis in an agarose gel. The pattern of these DNA bands is unique to each individual, but some bands are shared by related people, such as a parent & child. DNA fingerprints can be used to prove conclusively whether people are related. The double-helix model of DNA structure was first published in the journal Nature by James D. Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, based upon the crucial X-ray diffraction image of DNA labeled as " Photo 51", from Rosalind Franklin in 1952. Genetic fingerprinting and DNA profiling was developed by Dr. Alec Jeffreys and his team in 1985

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a conceptual computer illustration of a man proudly displaying the initials of the primary nucleobases of DNA: cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine. Behind him, an intriguing graphic presentation reveals an autoradiograph featuring distinct bands of DNA produced through electrophoresis in an agarose gel. These unique patterns serve as DNA fingerprints that can conclusively prove whether individuals are related or not. The groundbreaking discovery of the double-helix model by James D. Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 revolutionized our understanding of genetic material. Their work was heavily influenced by Rosalind Franklin's crucial X-ray diffraction image labeled as "Photo 51" from 1952. This milestone paved the way for further advancements in genetics. Dr. Alec Jeffreys and his team played a pivotal role in developing genetic fingerprinting and DNA profiling techniques in 1985, enabling us to delve deeper into our biological makeup. By examining specific regions within our DNA known as genes, we can uncover valuable information about our ancestry and familial relationships. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of the intricate molecular structure that underlies all life forms on Earth – deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). It highlights both the beauty and complexity inherent within this fundamental building block while emphasizing its significance in unraveling human connections through scientific inquiry.
