- theophrastus 8y agoInteresting isn't it? As a biochemist I can see only a slight correspondence between a sequence of audio or visual data and of genetic data, (as a contrary notion, there is only a small statistical expectation of correlation between frame N and N+1 for DNA data; yet a lot between whole sequences in terms of evolutionary homology). But yet there it is plopped right in the middle of the wikipedia standards page[1]. Likely more easily explained from the business point of view than science.
