abstract = "A novel biological software approach to define and
evolve 3D computer art forms is described based on a
re-implementation of the FormGrow system produced by
Latham and Todd at IBM in the early 1990s. This
original work is extended by using DNA sequences as the
input to generate complex organic-like forms. The
translation of the DNA data to 3D graphic form is
performed by two contrasting processes, one intuitive
and one informed by the biochemistry. The former
involves the development of novel, but simple, look-up
tables to generate a code list of functions such as the
twisting, bending, stacking, and scaling and their
associated parametric values such as angle and scale.
The latter involves an analysis of the biochemical
properties of the proteins encoded by genes in DNA,
which are used to control the parameters of a fixed
FormGrow structure. The resulting 3D data sets are then
rendered using conventional techniques to create
visually appealing art forms. The system maps DNA data
into an alternative multi-dimensional space with strong
graphic visual features such as intricate branching
structures and complex folding. The potential use in
scientific visualisation is illustrated by two
examples. Forms representing the sickle cell anaemia
mutation demonstrate how a point mutation can have a
dramatic effect. An animation illustrating the
divergent evolution of two proteins with a common
ancestor provides a compelling view of an evolutionary
process lost in millions of years of natural history.",
