DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid. Conceptual artwork of DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid. Conceptual artwork of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) spelt out with fluoresence micrographs of anaphase stage cells. Anaphase is a stage of mitosis (nuclear division). During mitosis two daughter nuclei are formed from one parent nucleus. At anaphase, sister chromatids are moved to separate poles of the cell by microtubules (purple). Chromatids consist of DNA (white). Two identical chromatids make up one chromosome. Microtubules, part of the cells cytoskeleton, grow from each pole of the cell and attach to the chromosomes. The microtubules then contract, pulling the chromatids to opposite poles. The cell then divides to form two new cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) through a conceptual artwork. The image is composed of fluoresence micrographs capturing anaphase stage cells, which represent a crucial phase in mitosis (nuclear division). During anaphase, sister chromatids containing DNA are skillfully segregated to opposite poles of the cell by vibrant purple microtubules. The chromosomes, consisting of two identical chromatids, appear as white structures within the image. Microtubules emerge from each pole and delicately attach themselves to the chromosomes before contracting and pulling them apart. This process ultimately leads to the formation of two new cells as the original parent nucleus divides. Through this illustration, we gain insight into the complex mechanisms that govern cellular division and genetic inheritance. The fluorescent staining technique employed enhances our understanding by highlighting key components such as microtubules and chromatids. This computer-generated artwork not only serves as a visual feast for biology enthusiasts but also offers valuable insights into cytology and genetics. It represents a fusion between scientific knowledge and artistic expression, showcasing both technical precision and creative interpretation. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this mesmerizing moment in biological history with their wide field deconvoluted fluorescence micrograph technique. This print invites us to marvel at nature's ingenuity while deepening our appreciation for the fundamental processes that underpin life itself.
