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

Ignite curiosity and inspire scientific exploration in your home or office with this visually striking and thought-provoking print. Order now and bring the wonders of science right to your wall.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 42cm x 51cm (16.5" x 20.1")
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

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.
