Kris Wetterstrand, M.S.: DNA itself is too small to be seen with the naked eye. You can see certain types of pictures of chromosomes. Since the human genome has been 'sequenced' you can easily access and 'see' the genome at website such as that supported by the National Center for Biotechnology Information http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genomes/.
