This document summarizes recent findings that some bacterial and viral DNA sequences can induce low frequency electromagnetic waves in high aqueous dilutions. Specifically:
1) Electromagnetic waves between 500-3000 Hz have been detected in certain high dilutions of filtrates containing DNA from various microorganisms.
2) The waves are produced from both whole genomes and isolated DNA fragments as short as 104 base pairs.
3) The waves appear to be triggered by excitation from the ambient extremely low frequency electromagnetic background.
4) This phenomenon could allow for highly sensitive detection of chronic bacterial and viral infections.
