DNA-Radio, Tune In To Your Chromosomes

An anonymous reader writes "The folks behind the DNA-Rainbow project (discussed on Slashdot before) apparently have some time to play around with genome data. After creating amazing pictures from the human DNA code they are now transforming all chromosomes to audio and streaming them to the Internet. Every base is read and broadcasted instead converting it to a color. Seemingly this artistic project will last a while. After some math they found out that it will take them more than 23.5 years to air the whole human genome sequence."

    Bring the 14.4 modem out of the closet and demodulate the audio sequence data.

    Then, when you've got the entire code backed up locally, sue them for releasing
    sensitive medical data over the internet without authorization.
