DNA Holliday junction, molecular model C014 / 3090
DNA Holliday junction. Molecular model of a Holliday junction (centre) between homologous strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). A Holliday junction forms during crossing over, a natural genetic process that occurs between homologous chromosomes and leads to the switching of genetic material between the chromosomes. This recombination increases the genetic variation in a population

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a molecular model of a DNA Holliday junction, specifically the C014/3090 variant. At its core, a Holliday junction represents an intricate connection between homologous strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). This remarkable structure emerges during crossing over - a natural genetic process that occurs between homologous chromosomes. Crossing over leads to the exchange of genetic material between these chromosomes, ultimately enhancing the genetic variation within a population. The image beautifully captures the complexity and elegance of this biological phenomenon. The intertwined strands of DNA form a double helix, symbolizing the fundamental building blocks of life itself. Each chromosome is represented by distinct chains, genes encoded within them holding crucial information for inheritance and development. Through advanced technological and biochemical techniques, scientists have unraveled the secrets hidden within our genetic code. This artwork serves as both an illustration and reminder of their tireless efforts in understanding how our genes shape us. The four-way branch migration depicted here signifies the resolving nature of this process - untangling and recombining different segments to create new combinations that contribute to diversity among individuals. EQUINOX GRAPHICS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this awe-inspiring moment in biology with their meticulous attention to detail. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded not only of our own unique genetic makeup but also how interconnected we are through countless generations past and future.
