This talk will be about the project "Music and Yeast," which was presented at the 2016 BioHackAcademy.

About "Music and Yeast": 
Back in the time when clocks did not exist, "sake-making songs" were sung by workers at breweries as a way of checking on the brewing process for refined sake. This project originated in the question: "Might sake yeast be able to remember these 'sake-making songs,' which are no longer sung due to developments in sake brewing technology?" Working with the theme: "you are a mother if you have music DNA," the project converted music into DNA base sequences and searched for a way of preserving this in the yeast. 

Mayumi decided to encode these folk songs into yeast DNA and "sing" the yeast with her own voice.
