- medium: inkjet print of composite digital image, on canvas
- layers: micrographs of chicken and duck macro and micro-chromosomes, drawings
- size: 60 x 90cm
- collaboration: Dr Ben Skinner
- research: comparative genome mapping between chicken and duck using fluorescent probes. The technique employed is called
Fluorescent in-situ Hybridisation (or simply “FISH”) and can be used to investigate the genetics in birds, particularly traits that are important to both agriculture and human health.
