Neocube Sculpture - Double Helix / DNA Strand

Stylised DNA chain sculpture from neodymium magnet balls.
Made from 17 identical subunits whose construction is offset creating a 'twist' when interlocked correctly, forming a double helix spiral.
This shape uses 1904 balls total, almost all of 9 standard neocubes (of 216 balls each). 112 per unit in the chain ,50/50 golden and nickel coloured.

A tutorial for how to build this shape for yourself can be found below as a video response to this video.

Music is from the song No Telling Where by New Zealand artist SJD.

How about you stop trying so hard to get thumbs up? You seen MrPentatonicScale's top comment and you thought you would pretty much copy it, get a life you 10 year old.

[giantsquirrel37]

ok, now transcribe it into RNA.

[homeyhomedawg]

why you no have okazaki fragments?

@zioma500 guess what im learning in biology!

HeHe Deoxyribonucleic acid

[THETSUNAMIBLADE]

now make a ribosome and some m-RNA,t-RNA to start new life style :)
