Molecular Biologist Sonifies DNA Sequences into Musical Compositions

“I’ll be the first to admit this approach seems a little strange,” writes Mark Temple, describing his sonification of DNA sequences into musical compositions. Mapping genetic code to harmonic intervals, the molecular biologist creates tracks that evolve through programmed mutations and using specific DNA markers to structure musical sections. Temple has released a web tool for public DNA sonification and will perform his genetic compositions during Australia’s National Science Week.
