Poet Encodes His Masterwork In Bacterial DNA

A Canadian poet wants to encode his work into DNA of Deinococcus radiodurans bacteria.
Read below...

He wants to inject the DNA with a string of nucleotides that form a comprehensible poem, and he also wants the protein that the cell produces in response to form a second comprehensible poem.

Once the poem is complete, lab technicians will string together the nucleotide polymers, creating a DNA fragment to insert into D. radiodurans. It’ll probably take several attempts to get the bacteria to accept the genetic info. Talk about publish or perish.
