Music, Genomics, the "Copycat-Copyright" Dialectic and the Genome Mixing Console

 Live From The "My-Genes-Remix" Department

Wanna become the DJ of your genes? Fancy your own genes playing music at the mixing console? A digital genome mixing console, that is, playing the music (David Guetta remix?) of your genes...

Music: performing 38 songs with only 4 chords (E, B, C#m and A).
Genomics: Your DNA is one end result of 3 billion years worth of uninterrupted copying.

Can you decide which one it is? Plagiarism or Creation?

Well, maybe watching these cool videos will help you make up your mind...





DNA, the building block of life, contains the genetic code that informs so much of who we are. This code is written with four letters, each representing a different base. The four bases are adenine (A), which pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C), which pairs with guanine (G).

4 chords.
4 letters.

Congrats, you've just listened to the music of your genes!

Bazinga.

@cathcoste we'd rather prefer @genegroove music with @omarparaiso and @DJCAM1 masters of our future Genome Mixing Table

A Genome Mixing Console?? Cool!! Can't wait!
