This animation explores the miniature world of DNA through a series of illustrations that "zoom in" from macroscale to the extremely tiny (nanoscale). It travels downward in magnitude from cellular structure through chromosomes, chromatin, the DNA double-helix, and ends with the molecular structure of a single nucleotide. It was designed to help learners grasp the scale of DNA and see that an object as tiny as a single living cell is huge when compared to the molecules that make up DNA.
