Morse Code into DNA

kacode
Genesis, Eduardo Kac, 1998/99. The Genesis gene was created by first converting the bible sentence to Morse code. The next step was the conversion of the Morse code into DNA: Dashes were represented by the letter T (thymine); Dots were represented by the letter C (cytosin); Word spaces were replaced by the letter A (adenine); Letter spaces were substituted by the letter G (guanine).
