Genomic Music and Greasemonkey

Here’s an article by some folk who’ve made a tool for converted protein sequences into musical tones:

We have converted genome-encoded protein sequences into musical notes to reveal auditory patterns without compromising musicality. … The conversion will help make genomic coding sequences more approachable for the general public, young children, and vision-impaired scientists.

You can go to the article page and listen to an MP3 of Human thymidylate synthase A.

And, to prove that bioinformatics geeks are as geeky as they come, you can install a Greasemonkey script that lets you play any sequence in a webpage.
