Science Surfing Humans

Genetic Artistry

By Science News

To see how some artists portray the promise and perils of the Human Genome project, check out the Web sites of artists who use depictions of DNA or chromosomes, create images from genetically engineered bacteria, or take advantage of gene-mapping technology to express their ideas. Additional information about these artists can be found in the Science News article “Genes on Display.”
