Hemoglobin sequence interpreted as weaving patterns

Directly assigned to Shaft Number

This is what you get if you assign each of the base letters in the sequence to one of four shafts on the loom, and then weave "as drawn in" with a 2/2 twill tie-up.

Assigned to Block Number

Each of the base letters in the sequence is assigned to one of four blocks in a block crackle (twill form). The pattern is the same but enlarged, and the areas are contrasted by sub-patterns...

Assigned to Block Number

... a sub-pattern I like particularly well is diamond-twill. But the pattern is much enlarged. Not very much of the sequence is shown in this image.

Assigned to Color

Now assign a color to each base letter. I chose 'aqua' for adenine, 'cerise' for cytosine, 'gold' for guanine, and 'terra cotta' for thymine, but one could use any colors that please. Here is the cloth in plain weave. Note that this is only base letters 1-240 !
