This interpretive painting merges the urban skyline with the intricate world of genetic research. The windows of the towering buildings symbolize individual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their associated p-values from a genome-wide association study. Below, the water reflects these buildings, with mismatching base pairs depicted in gold, illustrating the SNPs and their unique patterns. The piece captures the convergence of human civilization and genetic exploration, showcasing the depth and complexity hidden within our DNA against the backdrop of a bustling city.
