Abstract
Alignments are part of the most important data type in the field of
comparative genomics. They can be abstracted to a character matrix
derived from aligned sequences. A variety of biological questions
forces the researcher to inspect these alignments. Our tool, called
ComposAlign, was developed to sonify large scale genomic data. The resulting
musical composition is based on Common Music and allows the mapping of genes
to motives and species to instruments. It enables the researcher to
listen to the musical representation of the genomwide alignment and
contrasts a bioinformatician's sight-oriented work at the computer.
