Gels

Gels is a science-inspired generative piece. Our algorithm simulates gel electrophoresis, a powerful experimental method in molecular biology used daily by thousands of scientists worldwide. In the lab, scientists "run a gel" to separate and visualize molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. These molecules appear as patterns of bands when photographed, and those patterns can be used to interpret the results of experiments.

The DNA band patterns in this work derive from combinations of a simulated experimental data and real-world data, including DNA sequences that encode several varia...
