Transgenic mouse, conceptual artwork
Transgenic mouse, conceptual computer artwork. The mouse is standing next to a model of a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the genetic material that controls the growth and development of all living organisms. The horizontal bars are the nucleotides bases that join the two spiralling sugar phosphate strands. It is the order along the strands of these nucleotides bases, of which there are four types, that is the genetic code. Mice are widely used as laboratory animals because of their close genetic and physiological similarities to humans

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a whimsical and educational conceptual artwork of a transgenic mouse. In this imaginative depiction, the mouse stands proudly next to a model of DNA, the fundamental genetic material that governs the growth and development of all living organisms. The horizontal bars in the artwork represent nucleotide bases, which connect two spiraling sugar phosphate strands within DNA. These bases hold significant importance as they determine the genetic code through their specific order along the strands. With four types of nucleotide bases forming this code, it serves as an intricate blueprint for life itself. Mice are widely utilized in laboratory settings due to their remarkable genetic and physiological similarities to humans. This comical portrayal highlights their role as research subjects while adding a touch of humor to scientific exploration. Through this artistic representation, we delve into various fields such as biology, medicine, chemistry, genetics, and biochemistry. It encapsulates concepts like genetic engineering and modification with its emphasis on transgenic mice—a testament to our continuous quest for knowledge in these domains. Science Photo Library's visually stunning print not only educates but also entertains viewers by seamlessly blending science with artistry. It sparks curiosity about our world's intricate biological processes while reminding us that even complex scientific concepts can be approached with creativity and humor.
