Re: Dna experiments

It's really easy to extract DNA.  tongue  Examining it and finding it code is the tough part.

Re: Dna experiments

I don't have much to contribute to the topic, so here is a fractal flame I made that looks like DNA.  tongue

I think the conception of DNA being colorful came from DNA diagrams in science textbooks. They usually color diagrams for easier understanding (otherwise everything would look like one giant grey-white blobby mess).

That's a nice thought... Much of the images in science textbooks have color added to them, not just the DNA. Part of the misunderstanding might come from a certain scene in my favorite movie of all time...

Huh. Your brother sounds... interesting.

You should try owl pellets, I bet there would be a ton of DNA in there. Except I think getting DNA involves blenders.

Re: Dna experiments

They color dna in textbooks, so u can recognize the nucleotides.

Also so it doesn't just look like a white blobby mass.

Re: Dna experiments

I am not as interested in DNA as I am in the chromosomes that are made up by the DNA -- to think that your entire being is stored in only 42 chromosomes.

It also may have to do with little test tubes just full of green DNA evidence, just like in the movies.

Or movies like "Hulk" and "Spiderman" where they have colored DNA in the background.

I want to inject DNA of a giraffe into a zebra. Long-necked zebra! Or at least a weird pattern of stripes and spots.

It would be epical if that happened but nothing would happen to the zebra in reality.


This is a temporary signature. It will exist until I think of something witty.

You couldn't JUST do that. You would need to modify the DNA in the very basic stage of being an zygote (the very first cell of an animal) of a zebra, then inject in exactly the right place the specific neck code of a giraffe. More difficult than it sounds.  tongue

Scientists could probably easily do that. But there's one problem: They don't want to. >:(
