https://neurall.github.io/dna/ https://neurall.github.io/dna/webgl_version.htm I was curious how dna actually looks like as a raw data.

So I thrown together simple short easily hackable DNA visualiser that downloads and shows in realtime line by line chromosome 1 where all of 4 letters have unique 4 colors.

I am mostly curious about what will I actually see.

Will I see discern a patterns repetittions?

Will I see color differences between different parts of DNA/chromosomes?

Given how human eye and brain with it's incredible ability to spot patterns corelations repetitionshuman induction etc.

And Indeed ;)

So far top of chromosome 1 is reddish bottom greenish ;)

This is the most fascinating data I had ever chance to see. Considering I am looking at source code of pretty much everything alive on earth.

As for fitting to gpu memory for latter comparsion shenanigans that I am definitely planing ;).

What is super cool, was that each from 26 human chromosomes has around 60 m letters but since they are in just 4 letter alphabet "acgt", you can store it to texture with just 2 bits per letter and decode it back via simple pixel shader thus you can sample and draw 16x4 rgb pixels from4x4 texture which this sample does ;D. sad thing is float precision uv starts flling apart at 16k wide textured triangle and there is visible jumping seam which was unexpected ;(

In next step I will try to simulate drawing folded dna while still showing colors.

Will some colors aggregate on outside ?

I.E consider painting red circle on spaghety ball and then strighten spaghety up.

You will not see a circle anymore just bunch of random red stripes.

So lets curle dna back and then observe whether we will see patterns with naked eye ;D

O boy this is exciting ;D
