Apparently a team of researchers at Keio University in Japan are coming up with a way of storing data in Bacteria. The linked article reads: “Character combinations can stand for specific letters and symbols – so codes in genomes can be translated, or read, to produce music, text, video and other content.”
It gets me to thinking: What if one encoded a piece of music in a bacteria’s DNA, devised a way to get it to mutate, and then extracted the information. What would it the music sound like? What if you did this a thousand times. Would the pieces start to sound the same after a while?

” What if one encoded a piece of music in a bacteria’s DNA, devised a way to get it to mutate, and then extracted the information. What would it the music sound like? ”
Like be-bop.
” What if you did this a thousand times. Would the pieces start to sound the same after a while?”
You’d get Smooth Jazz.
This sounds like the premise of a bad sci/fi film.
Some song will create the most powerful bacteria and it will spread and kill of all of humanity… excluding, I don’t know, Christian Bale and Kate Beckinsale.
Wait a minute – music IS bacteria!
