Lombard Street
a: Chromosome ~
b: a street
What: "A chromosome is like a street where every gene lives at a precise address. When new genes went in like squatters willy-nilly, they could create havoc." If it's like a street, then it's most likely like Lombard street in San Francisco, which is very curvy and twisted.
