Treacher Collins Syndrome Pt. 1

First off. A word of apology to anyone that may be offended by the name of this song. I will now explain what it's all about and why i chose it, but i am sorry for anyone that takes offense as it is not my intention.
Now, i stumbled across this interesting project called Genetic Music Project What it is basically is creating music from DNA patterns, or as it says on the site itself:
"Since all genetic information can only come in the language of four nucleotides (A Adenosine C Cytosine G Guanine T Thymidine) it is fairly easily conveyed in musical form"
Being extremely intrigued by this new take on creating music, i went out to find this sort of information, having chose Treacher Collins Syndrome because a young cousin of mine is diagnosed with it.
I found a document online with this particular pattern that seemed to represent the genetics of not just humans, but also other species, which i used as the 4 channels of LSDJ, in the key of A Major, the C is neutral, G is 4 steps up, A is 3 steps down and T is 11 steps up.
You can find the document here or look at this picture below. I intend to do a part 2 and 3 eventually.
The most appealing aspect is that you dont need a knowledge of genetics to utilize this, and same goes for those that aren't expert musicians, its all in the pattern.
