Our DNA World of Triangles

 Here we see twenty variations on a theme of DNA Triangles all 64 codons can be made by reading the colours around the edge of each triangle….obviously all one colour triangles only make one codon e.g. Yellow, Yellow, Yellow creates only GGG. 


A more complicated way of making a pattern of all 64 codons which can be read forwards or backwards is in a pattern of 36 triangles which is the least required to create all 64 codons in one pattern.


This pattern has a very crabby shape but they can be long and thin or condensed as this one is. All 64 codons can be read in this one simple pattern. 


Of course later we advance to each codon having its own particular shape from a choice of 8 different triangles as seen above…….The All White one being The Grand Trine, the darkest pink to being The Worker and the others in between The Teacher, The Lecturer, The Ruminator, The Alternator, The Thinker and The Magician. Still triangles but now showing a preference for the angles of their particular triangle. 


Even the artworks of Joe Tilson scream out to talk to us of DNA and yet this particular image was inspired by artworks in Venice……….what were they inspired by. 

If we zone in on a particule hexagonal shape of six triangles in the above image we get this pattern and it containes 12 variations on a theme of DNA within it. 


Moving anticlockwise we have TAT ATG GTC GCA CAT ATA then go clockwise….ATA TAC ACG CGT GTA TAT so 12 codons here but notice when they are a pallindrone it reduced the count to ten as ATA and TAT appear twice. So from this one hexagon or hexagram you can make 10 codons. 

So remember you are a part of this inspirational thing called DNA make sure your patterns work well for you x
