Any suggestions on what nucleotide chain to print out?

    Every time I see those letters I think about the fact that I spent years not realizing that the movie Welcome to GATACA is a gene sequence.

    Near idea! Have you considered making the “backbone” interfaces at a slight angle so that several base pairs begin to form a helix?

    Or maybe a slightly spherical ball & socket connection to allow them to be twisted?

      Yeah most printers should be able to handle small overhang angles like 35 degrees no sweat.

      I bet you could get a decent double helix with that kind of angle.

    I dunno much about nucleotide chains, but I’m really invested in the SNP rs1006737 in the gene CACNA1C: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/rs1006737

    Seeing the difference in the two nucleotide chains between the disordered personality and a “normal” personality (that’s a gross oversimplification, I know) would be meaningful to me personally, at least.
