Music From DNA Patented

Posted by kdawson on from the tinkle-of-little-coins dept.

stm2 writes "Two lawyers have patented generating music from a DNA sequence. According to the patent, it covers 'music generated by decoding and transcribing genetic information within a DNA sequence into a music signal having melody and harmony.' A comment to the blog post mentions DNA-derived music being performed at a conference in 1995."

    This will complement nicely those audiophiles who emit DNA every time they listen to their $30,000 hi-fi systems.

    The RIAA will send a settlement letter to your parents to forward to you. For only $5000 you can continue to live with your current DNA.
