Robot picking bacteria containing human DNA
Human genome research. Robot picker (upper centre) as it selects bacterial colonies in petri dishes which contain human DNA for the Human Genome Project. The colonies are seen as white dots in agar nutrient medium here. Human DNA is placed in bacteria so that they clone (replicate) it as they reproduce. This is to increase the amount of DNA to workable amounts. The human genome project aims to find the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) base sequence of all human genes. This will allow for improved drug design and a greater understanding of genetic diseases. Photographed at the Sanger Centre in Cambridge, England

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cutting-edge world of human genome research. In the upper center, a highly advanced robot picker is diligently selecting bacterial colonies in petri dishes that contain human DNA. These colonies appear as small white dots within the agar nutrient medium. The purpose behind introducing human DNA into bacteria is to exploit their ability to clone and replicate it, thereby increasing its quantity for further analysis. The Human Genome Project lies at the heart of this groundbreaking endeavor, aiming to unravel the base sequence of all human genes encoded in our DNA. By deciphering this intricate code, scientists hope to unlock a wealth of knowledge that will revolutionize drug design and deepen our understanding of genetic diseases. Captured at the prestigious Sanger Centre in Cambridge, England, this photograph encapsulates the fusion between biology and technology. It highlights how robotics play an integral role in accelerating scientific progress by automating tasks such as colony picking – an essential step towards achieving workable amounts of DNA for study. As we delve deeper into these realms of biochemistry and genetics, we inch closer to unlocking nature's secrets while paving new paths towards medical advancements. This image serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and innovation on our quest for better health outcomes for all.
