Corrections of virtual genomic planets
This post is rather technical and will be about fixing a bug in the genomic planets. Maybe there will be some comments improving my approach… Continue reading

Visualizing chromosomes
Chromosomes are large DNA-molecules containing the information for huge numbers of genes. Although we are dealing with a completely different scale, when compared to the visualization of genes, we are having exactly the same problem: A linear sequence of huge amounts of data. Continue reading
Visualizing genes
DNA is the biological way of storing information, the equivalent to a computer’s main disk. This post will try to focus on this side of DNA and how it can be visualized. Continue reading
DNA – beyond the double helix (II)
Packaging of DNA-molecules (within cells or cell nuclei) is a very interesting topic, first because packaging determines, how fast the information stored in the DNA can be used by the cell, and second, because cellular compartments appear to be tiny compared to DNA-molecules. Continue reading
DNA – beyond the double helix (I)
When Watson and Crick described the structure of DNA many years ago, the concept of the double helix was new and exiting. Nowadays this concept is dominating visual presentations of DNA to such a degree that it dominates other, more important features of the molecule(s). These features are the topic of the following post Continue reading
