Each DNA molecule in the background is one listed company, grouped by sector. Its sequence is its price history: every new tick is transcribed as a base pair at one end, and the oldest pair falls off the other.
Molecule length follows market-cap weight. The backbone color shows the session change.
Turnover makes a molecule glow and transcribe faster. Volatility spins the helix and bends it into a supercoil.
The left lung holds the biotech lobes, the right lung the medtech lobes. Each lobe's airways glow in its sector's color, brighter when it trades more.
Breathing rate follows overall turnover and breath depth follows the size of the market move. Air enters through the trachea on the inhale and leaves on the exhale.
Molecules float at different sizes and depths. The focus drifts slowly through the space and often settles on the molecule being observed.
Viruses spin faster when the market is more volatile, and spin up during a shock.
A breakthrough unzips a molecule. A setback breaks it, and it has to grow back.
