The link between DNA and proteins lies at the heart of two promising new fields in biotechnology - genomics and proteomics - described here and illustrated in exhibitions in Challenges of the Living World

     
  How can you raise awareness of the biology revolution? Comics are one option. I use them in my multimedia presentation:
"Discover the New Biology".
Two cartoon characters - Proteix and Nucleix - are your guides for a journey to the control centers of life.
 
Discover the amazing world of the infinitely small, the structure of cells, how genes are organized, cracking the genetic code, producing proteins. And learn how errors can slip into code transmission, causing genetic illnesses.
