[edit] Construction process

[taken from w:User_talk:Emw2012#Re:_Modeling_DNA.27s_double_helix_in_SVG]

The curve was an attempt at making a sine wave. I did this by making a sawtooth/zigzag line using the grid, converting all the nodes to symmetric, then manually weaking them to look smoother (and chopping off the end bits of the waves to get rid of the straight line mess). More recent versions of Inkscape simplify this process a lot by way of spiro paths and angle snapping.

I created a "band" of DNA by duplicating one curve and shifting right a few spaces, then combining paths and joining the ends with a straight-line segment. Then I added an appropriate fill colour and apply shading. Another band was added by duplicating this one and shifting right an appropriate amount for the major/minor groove. The overlap was carried out by dividing the bands into two (can't recall exactly where, probably at the upper point where they thin out), which allows them to go under at one location and over at another.

For the 3Dish shading, I followed a tutorial I found on the Inkscape website for creating 3D ropes/tubes [1]:

1. Create a thick curve (say width 10px)
2. Convert to path
3. Duplicate
4. blur (about 3 seems to work well for a 20px line) and lower the duplicate, then shift right and down a bit
5. Select both original and blurred duplicate, object->clip->set

The bases were generated from thick, cloned lines that had been converted into paths. I tried to match the colours that seem typical for sequencer outputs, and did curves for C/G and points for A/T to indicate differences in hydrogen bonding.

I'm Not sure how pedantic I was about measurements and distances/proportions on that image, but there's a diagram of DNA in Genetics by Russell which gives distances for width of the DNA, distance per turn, number of bases per turn and distance between major/minor groove.

Oh, and I triple checked to make sure I actually had right-handed DNA [2].
