We have converted genome-encoded protein sequences into musical notes to reveal auditory patterns without compromising musicality. We derived a reduced range of 13 base notes by pairing similar amino acids and distinguishing them using variations of three-note chords and codon distribution to dictate rhythm. The conversion will help make genomic coding sequences more approachable for the general public, young children, and vision-impaired scientists.

我们已将基因组编码的蛋白质序列转换为音符，以揭示听觉模式，同时不影响音乐性。我们通过将相似的氨基酸配对，并使用三音符和弦的变体和密码子分布来确定节奏，从而区分它们，得出了一个缩减至13个基本音符的范围。这种转换将有助于使基因组编码序列对普通公众、儿童和视力受损的科学家来说更容易理解。
