About this item
The Gene Genie's image
Description: Less than 60 years after Cambridge scientists Watson and Crick first discovered the 3D structure of DNA, Professor Shankar Balasubramanian and his team of chemical biologists have not only co-discovered how to make DNA sequencing cheaper and quicker but are unlocking the mysteries of four-stranded DNA structures.

This is an image from one of the very early runs of Solexa sequencing (done in the company Solexa). It represents an image of a surface of a sequencing chip containing clusters of DNA molecules during one cycle of Solexa sequencing.
