This dainty, elegant DNA double helix necklace is designed to celebrate Barbara McClintock's achievement in genetics research. Our DNA has just four different types of base molecules but has billions of them in a sequence that is completely unique to you!
That is because our genes, which are sections of DNA that contain the unique set of instructions to produce one specific molecule in your body. Do you know that we have jumping genes? In the 1930s and 40s, Barbara McClintock’s work showed that some genes did not exist in fixed position on chromosomes, but could actually jump around from one part of the chromosome to another. These jumps/ travels have the potential to alter the genetic make-up of an organism giving rise to different traits, such as size and color of body features.
This elegant double helix necklace would make a wonderful gift for loved family members, new parent, any molecular biologist, medical and pre-med student, or healthcare professional!
