Coding Dna Into Music: An Alternate Way Of Analysis, Samuel Fesenmeier
Honors Theses
In the study, we are analyzing the human genome in order to determine patterns that may tell something about how DNA functions. Patterns require an explanation: it is highly improbable that they are random occurrence. These patterns may hint to something about how DNA functions. There are known patterns already discovered in DNA. For example, in the coding portion, three base pairs translate to a specific amino acid. In the non coding portion, however, specific patterns are not as simple.
We will search for patterns by applying a coding system that turns DNA into music. Music may serve as a …
