wow, that's an interesting project blink.gif

um, you can go to google and do an image search for dna gel, and you'll get over 9000 pix. be aware that most will be copyrighted

or did you want to run specific DNA profiles? this will be expensive with a capital E, and your best bet is to look up a lab that does paternity work, or genetic testing for disease alleles, etc....what DNA profiles will you run? there are many different ways to do this

http://www.dna11.com/ and https://www.dna-art.nl/index.php?page=products are two companies that are already offering DNA profiles as art.

Hi there and thank you for getting back to me. I have contacted a few companies regarding the dna profiles. most companies tend to use a computer print out now..do you know of any labs that couls just provide me with the gel work.? i have spent weeks now not sure what i am searching for as the technology seems to have changed and when i ring up a place they think i am a bit mad.

thanks for the links to the companies for dna prints..what i want to do is a little different as in when people attend my exhibition for a month they are invited to do this for free.. i aim to fill the gallery of portraits[dna] put print them onto different materials such as metal and wood, so it has an aged effect.

kind regards
