DNA autoradiogram and codons
DNA autoradiogram and codons. Conceptual computer artwork of a DNA autoradiogram (yellow) with superimposed triplets of letters (white). An autoradiogram (also known as a genetic fingerprint) consists of several columns of bands that show a specific sequence of nucleotide bases. Bases are the genetic code parts of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and there are four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. The bases are read in groups of three called codons. GAC (guanine adenine cytosine) codes for the amino acid aspartic acid, for example. When one codon is read, its amino acid is added to the chain of amino acids from previous codons, which forms proteins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a DNA autoradiogram and codons, beautifully depicted through conceptual computer artwork. The vibrant yellow autoradiogram takes center stage, with superimposed triplets of white letters adding an intriguing visual element. An autoradiogram, also known as a genetic fingerprint, is composed of distinct columns of bands that reveal the precise sequence of nucleotide bases. At the heart of this image lies the fundamental building blocks of life - the four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. These bases form the genetic code within DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and are read in groups of three called codons. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid; for instance, GAC codes for aspartic acid. As each codon is deciphered during protein synthesis, its corresponding amino acid joins the growing chain formed by previous codons. This intricate process ultimately leads to the creation of proteins essential for various biological functions. The significance of this image extends beyond biology research and identification; it has profound implications in medicine and forensic science. By analyzing autoradiograms like these, scientists can unravel crucial information about genetics and genes while aiding in medical advancements and even criminal investigations. This remarkable illustration from Science Photo Library serves as a testament to our ever-expanding knowledge in biochemistry and genetics – unlocking mysteries encoded within our very own DNA through cutting-edge technology and scientific exploration.
