This is not a gene is a web-based project designed to encourage the redefinition and creative expression of gene concepts. Forget what you may or may not know about the double-helix for a second. What do you think a gene is, looks like, can do, or says?
Does it respond to touch?
What does it sound like?
Is there a story behind it?
All forms of creative expression are encouraged- from image to video to sound to text…
The goal of "This is not a gene" is to promote creativity in the biological and cultural naming and characterization of the basic units of biological inheritance. It is a collaborative endeavor and a community forum. What do your genes express?
