DNA: Personalized music, fragrance

What to get your favorite genealogist has taken on new meanings with a US patent that purports to compose music based on personal DNA and another that can capture your DNA essence as a fragrance.

"Genetic music generated by decoding and transcribing genetic information within a DNA sequence into a music signal having melody and harmony, and useful in the producion of novelty consumer products, identification systems, and diagnostic tools."
