Revealing the Musical Patterns of the Genome
| Division: | Sciences de la vie | | Catégorie: | Sénior | | Région: | Toronto | | Ville: | Markham, ON | | École: | Marc Garneau Collegiate | | Sommaire: | Music depends on rhythm and so does human life - heart rate, breathing and more. Since life is regulated by genome, gene sequences are hypothesized to be rhythmic in musical terms. By assigning musical notes to the four DNA nucleotides, connections can be revealed and used for further biomedical research. Selected gene sequences for p53, Cx26, and INS are used to demonstrate this novel approach. |
