Computer artwork of genetic engineering
Genetic engineering. Computer artwork showing a molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) being manipulated during genetic engineering. A section of the DNA molecule at centre has been cut away using an enzyme and is being removed at right. A replacement section is being added at left. DNA contains the inherited instructions necessary for the development of a living organism. It consists of two helical strands joined by bases (blue bars) which form the genetic code. Here, a new section of DNA, perhaps a gene coding for a hormone such as insulin, is being spliced into the DNA. Genes such as this are needed to treat people who lack them through a process known as gene therapy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the intricate process of genetic engineering. At the heart of the image, a molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) takes center stage as it undergoes manipulation. With precision and finesse, an enzyme cuts away a section of the DNA molecule, which is then carefully removed on the right side. Simultaneously, on the left side, a replacement section is being added. DNA serves as nature's blueprint for life, containing all the inherited instructions necessary for an organism's development. Composed of two helical strands joined by bases represented by blue bars forming the genetic code, this complex structure holds immense potential in scientific research. In this particular artwork, we witness a groundbreaking application of genetic engineering: splicing in a new section of DNA that may encode for vital hormones like insulin. This technique plays a crucial role in gene therapy – treating individuals who lack specific genes essential for their well-being. The fusion between artistry and science beautifully captures both the intricacy and promise within genetics and biotechnology fields. As viewers delve into this visually stunning portrayal created through computer graphics, they are invited to contemplate humanity's ability to manipulate our own genetic makeup – unlocking possibilities that could revolutionize medicine and enhance lives worldwide.
