ChromosomeWalk, a virtual exhibition introducing the human genome and bioinformatics


The Chromosome Walk is a virtual exhibition that explains the importance of bioinformatics in the life sciences today, and an interactive and recreational journey into the human genome.

Each one of our cells contains 23 pairs of chromosomes; one of the chromosomes comes from our mother and the other from our father. Like a recipe book, each chromosome contains a certain number of recipes, known as ‘genes’. Over 20’000 genesare recipes for proteins which are essential components of life.
