Self portrait

This photographic self portrait shows the artist's genomic DNA, isolated from cells in the cheek.  The DNA has been tagged with ethidium bromide, which shows up as a white glow under the imaging apparatus, a Biorad Gel Doc EZ imager. The differing amounts of ethidium bromide used within the PCR tubes accounts for the colour disparity in this image.

Produced by the artist with assistance from JCC Biotechnology department.
