DNA sequencing. Computer screen showing a sequence of base pairs forming part of the human genetic code. The three billion base pairs that form the genetic code of human DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are collectively known as the human genome. Each of the coloured bands represents the position of one of the four nucleotide bases that form the code. As each persons genetic code is unique this sequence is called a DNA fingerprint. Photographed at the Joint Genome Project (JGI), part of the Human Genome Project, in Walnut Creek, California, USA.

Abstract Art

Curious to try something new? Why not learn the language of colors? Our collection of abstract art will introduce you to intriguing concepts and emotions evoked by brushstrokes, shapes, and composition of art. A genre of modernism, abstract art, was founded by Wassily Kadinsky. It represents objects and ideas in an interpretive way.

Other famous abstract artists include Piet Mondrian, Joan Miro, and Jackson Pollock. See their work come alive with the painterly quality of our museum-grade canvas.
