DNA packaging, artwork
DNA packaging. Computer artwork showing how DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is packaged within cells. Two DNA strands, consisting of a sugar-phosphate backbone attached to nucleotide bases

X chromosome, centromere and telomeres
Computer artwork of a X chromosome. The red regions mark out the telomeres, the ends of the chromosome and the centromere, the central region of the chromosome

Synthetic cell creation, computer artwork
Computer artwork depicting the creation of synthetic cells. From top: the chromosome of an existing bacterial cell is decoded, fragments copied and assembled forming a new synthetic DNA

DNA damage, computer artwork
Computer artwork of a DNA broken into small fragments, depicting damaged DNA, DNA repair, DNA double-strand breaks and chromosomal damage

X and Y chromosome with telomeres
X and Y chromosomes. Computer artwork of an X (left) and a Y (right) chromosome. The red regions mark out the telomeres, the ends of the chromosome

X and Y chromosomes. Computer artwork of an X (left) and a Y (right) chromosome. Chromosomes are made of very condensed deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
