Recently, a friend of mine told me that my idea of creating art based on bioinformatics processes or outputs made no sense. I said it was possible, here it is the proof.

Original image number 1. A multiple alignment of 19 members of the Thiosulfate transferasa enzyme. EC number: 2.8.1.1. This alignment was performed using the MUSCLE algorithm, as implemented on the CLC sequenceviewer version five. |
|
Post modern version, with an air of technocracy. |
| Cubist version. Although taken to the extreme, this beautiful piece of art evokes the best of the Avant-garde movement. Picasso would be delighted. |
| Oleo version. Very conservative but still powerful and colorful. |
|
Original image number 2. This is a weighted metabolic network reconstruction of E. coli . The nodes correspond to chemicals (metabolites) and they are linked if connected by a metabolic reaction. The weight of the link is associated with the net reaction fluxes between the connected chemicals.(http://www.lce.hut.fi/publications/annual2004/node18.html) |

Fractal version using the well known Mandelbrot algorithm. A Beautiful piece of art and mathematical formalism. |
|
Colorful chalk version, over a black background. And no, this is not a Julian Beevers version of the metabolic network, it was created with "The Gimp". |
|
Psychodelic version, inspired on the 60's peace and love movement. A great approach applying the Sen function. |
