Why does no one Talk About This Study?
In 1986, Susumu Ohno, a Japanese geneticist, discovered DNA music by converting nucleotide bases to musical notes. This intriguing revelation led to the question: if we can translate DNA into music, can music affect or change our DNA?
Susumu Ohno’s seminal work laid the foundation for the fields of cymatics, epigenetics, and bioacoustics, revealing the possibility of sound frequencies influencing cellular processes and genetic expression.
The idea of using music therapeutically has caught the attention of scientists as exploration continues, suggesting that melody and rhythm might one day affect our biology at the most basic level.
The DNA-Music Nexus
In the 1980s, Japanese geneticist Susumu Ohno pioneered a new genetic research method by turning DNA sequences into musical compositions. Ohno discovered a previously unseen aspect of DNA’s structure by assigning specific musical notes to each nucleotide base: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine ©, and guanine (G).
The genetic sequence was represented in melodic form by a series of sounds, each nucleotide corresponding to a musical note. As Ohno put it, this…
