Model of the Human Genome

 

A giant animated model of human DNA for the University of Geneva (UNIGE). The first exhibition of its kind in Geneva, "Genome" offers a journey into the heart of the cell nucleus. The 14-meter diameter cell nucleus’ internal 360° projection, created by biologist Drew Berry, immerses the visitor in the fantastic world of the genome and the unique creation of every individual. DNA filaments undulate gently overhead as the double helix mirrors the center space in the form of a large light sculpture. (UNIGE website)
