the imachinative aspects of 
genomics

Structural Parallels

Above all there are structural parallels between the imachinations and the genomics, because they are both based on just a few elements (3 and 4). The imachinations are structured by the three colours red, green and blue (RGB) which result in addition very complex.
The genetic code is structured by only the four bases adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine—often abbreviated as A, C, G, and T.

The following page provides a lot of information, how the genetic code is structured:

This page demonstrates how the RGB colour system functions: http://www.jgiesen.de/javascript/JavaScript/colors/colors.htm

In 1962 James Watson (1928– ), Francis Crick (1916– ), and Maurice Wilkins (1916– ) jointly received the Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology for their determination in 1953 of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). 
Today we are still far away from understanding the complexity of the genome. E.g. non encoding RNA shows a new relationship between code, structure and function. (more...)
