View of microtubes, pipette & DNA sequence
DNA research. View of a pipettor tip (lower left) and microtubes in a rack on top of a DNA sequence. The DNA sequence which is also known as an autoradiogram, is four rows of irregularly spaced black bands. A DNA sample can be taken from body fluids and tissues. The DNA is then fragmented with enzymes and arrayed by size by electrophoresis. The banding pattern is then exposed onto an X-ray film. The bands represent the positioning of the base pairs (cytosine- guanine and adenine-thymine) on the DNA chain. This makes up the genetic code which is unique to every person

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate world of DNA research. In the foreground, a pipettor tip sits delicately in the lower left corner, ready to assist scientists in their quest for knowledge. Above it, microtubes neatly arranged in a rack hold precious genetic material waiting to be analyzed. At the heart of this image lies an autoradiogram - a DNA sequence represented by four rows of irregularly spaced black bands. This visual representation is obtained through a meticulous process involving enzyme fragmentation and electrophoresis, which arranges DNA fragments by size. The resulting banding pattern is then exposed onto an X-ray film, revealing the precise positioning of base pairs on the DNA chain. These base pairs - cytosine-guanine and adenine-thymine - form the unique genetic code that defines each individual. In this still life composition, we witness not only scientific tools but also glimpses into our own existence. The photograph invites us to contemplate how body fluids and tissues can yield valuable insights about ourselves at a molecular level. With its fusion of artistry and scientific inquiry, this print from Science Photo Library serves as a testament to human curiosity and our ongoing exploration of genetics. It reminds us that within these tiny tubes lie answers that unlock mysteries about who we are as individuals and as part of a larger tapestry called humanity.
