MODEL RELEASED. DNA sequencing preparation. Female technician using a multiple syringe to prepare samples for DNA sequencing. This is being done for the human genome project,which aims to sequence all human genes. The red liquid in these syringes is a dye used to ensure the technique works properly. Genes are lengths of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) which perform specific tasks within an organism. Human DNA contains over 100,000 genes,comprising over 3 billion base pairs. When complete,the human genome map will allow for improved drug design and a greater understanding of genetic diseases. Photographed at the Sanger Centre,in Cambridge,England | |
