The Human Pangenome
Category Description

Original music composition for a motion design project

Project Description

In 2003, biologists created the first ever human genome sequence. We need many reference genomes–a pangenome. This monumental undertaking is already taking place and is poised to redefine the future of genomic research and human health.

Last year we set about weaving a rich tapestry of musical threads together for this animated documentary. Our aim was to create a constantly evolving soundtrack, supporting the flow of information and also allowing moments of levity and reflection.
