Genome Quilts, Beverly St. Clair
Human red cone pigment gene (63" × 63")
This gene is involved in color vision. Part of its DNA sequence is encoded in the triangle blocks, which are then quilted in a double helix design. The base sequence and location of the gene are quilted into the border.
The double helix quilting echoes the appliqué on the back of the quilt.
