Handheld Sequencer Scans Images and Plays Them Back as MIDI Notes

Ooooh—This is a weird one. Using LDR photocells and an arduino, this handheld sequencer is capable of scanning an image and spitting it back out as a sequence of haunting MIDI notes. If you are as interested as I am in seeing how this would interpret a photocopy of the butt, then by all means follow the link and build one yourself. [Gieskes via Make]

Argonne National Laboratory Develops Open-source Analysis Tool for Annotation of Metagenomes

The study of microbial communities from environmental samples, known as metagenomics, has been propelled forward by technological advancements in high-throughput sequencing such as 454’s Genome Sequencer FLX System.

Open-source Analysis Tool enables Rapid Annotation of Metagenomes

The study of microbial communities from environmental samples, known as metagenomics, has been propelled forward by technological advancements in high-throughput, low-cost sequencing such as 454’s Genome Sequencer FLX System. With the recent use of sequencing approaches for metagenomic analysis, the major research challenges have shifted from generating to analyzing data. To resolve these analysis bottlenecks, a team of researchers from Argonne National Laboratory, The University of Chicago, and San Diego State University have developed an open source system for automated processing of metagenomic sequence data. The resource, designed specifically for data files generated by the 454 Sequencing platform, generates phylogenetic and functional summaries of the genomes by comparing the sequence against protein and nucleotide databases.

Make music on the iPhone with BeatMaker

iPhone and iPod touch users can find some great music-making tools on the App Store, but BeatMaker is currently the one that feels most like running a Logic-style, computer-based music sequencer. Although it doesn’t offer anything more than a rhythm-based environment, it allows you to go pretty deep in terms of recording, programming, editing, effects processing and mixing. It also lets you use your own audio samples in the 16 pad slots, enabling you to create a more individual sound palette. So let’s go through how to create your first beat.
