DNA-rainbow, A New Vision of Human Chromosomes 161
An anonymous reader writes "Two scientists have rendered amazing pictures using datafiles from the human genome project. They assigned different colors to the DNA and rendered images showing interesting patterns and strange structures of our chromosomes. It might be a groundbreaking new idea for displaying and maybe better understanding our genes. With its fascinating pictures it is a beautiful mix of science and art."

Overall, I think this is wicked cool, but amateurish from the standpoint of science. Actually, I'd like to see a Gerald Edelelman approach to handling and analyzing the DNA -- which would be wicked cool! See From Brain Dynamics to Consciousness [urlbit.us] to see what I mean. Applying his neural darwinistic approaches to DNA would not only reveal many surprises, but would be referentially cool, applying neural evolution to what was the result of biological (and memetic) evolution!
OK, so you think I am mad as a hatter. Perhaps. Perhaps not.
