ROFLDNA

Trong Guy DNA

During ROFLThing NYC in January Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and swine-defender of Breadpig, went around collecting DNA samples from Internet personalities which he then sequenced and framed via DNA11 creating “ROFLDNA: Deoxyribonucleic Awesome”. This DNA art is currently being auctioned off on eBay by Breadpig with 100% of the proceeds going to Science Commons.

At the original ROFLcon, Breadpig auctioned off a signed OLPC laptop.

UPDATE: The auction raised $455 for Science Commons.
