Can DNA Sing?

Tune into DNA-radio. Two German biotech experts are translating the entire human genome to audio files and streaming it on the web.
After creating pictures from the human DNA code, the DNA Rainbow group converted the data to audio. The idea is quite simple: every base is read and broadcasted, converting it to a color.
“With DNA-Radio, we don’t visualize the chromosome, we sonify it and have now completed a full audio-visual DNA representation of human chromosomes. It’s like radio, everybody listening hears the same code at the same time, the audio never gets repeated.”
It will take about 23.5 years or so until all code has been distributed over the internet.
