This artwork visualises background noise in genetic sequencing, which refers to the unwanted signals or data that can interfere with the sequencing process and its analysis. Just as the motion blur obscures details in the illustration and makes it difficult to see a clear image, background noise can obscure important genetic information and make it challenging to identify specific genetic variations. Background noise can arise from environmental contaminants, errors in the sequencing process, or even from the genetic material itself. Reducing it is crucial for improving the accuracy and reliability of genetic sequencing data.
