In my discussions with other people about turning DNA into sound, one person suggested translating the DNA sequence into a jazz scale, so that every sequence sounds good regardless of what it is. That sounded like a pretty good idea, but I've never got around to implementing that.

Examples of my attempts at direct conversion (creating discordant notes) are here:

Thanks @gringer - that's interesting! 23andme encoded variants into music by mapping genotypes to musical parameters (rhythm, pitch, timbre, and key signature). Since BasePlayer's focus is on variant analysis, something like this could be appropriate.
