The Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics presents a symphonic art installation "Det Centrale Dogme" (The Central Dogma), which explores the fundamental processes of molecular biology through music and visual elements.
In this work, the essence lies in the "scale" that arises in the background of the five molecules that make up the "steps" in DNA and mRNA. Guanine, Cytosine, Adenine, Thymine and Uracil become in the world of music a five-tone scale with the notes A, C, D, E and G, five notes which can reasonably be regarded as the central dogma of music.
