Susumu Ohno, a pioneering geneticist, bridged biology and music by exploring the patterns of repetition in DNA sequences, which mirror musical compositions. In his 1986 paper, he introduced the concept of DNA sonification, converting genetic codes into sound, revealing structural similarities between genetics and music. Modern interpretations of this idea extend to sound healing, with […]
