From: Sam Hahn <SHahn@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA> Human-readable? Where does my "human-readable" decoded form of DNA/RNA genome sequences fit in this? I don't suppose you'd let me copyright my DNA sequences, and prosecute wherever else I see it? -------

I don't suppose you'd let me copyright >> my DNA sequences, and prosecute wherever else I see it? Why, sure thing Sam. First, let me get out my DNA sequencer/synthesizer, and an' ole bottle of ribonuclease, and let's see -- what are the codons for COPYRIGHT 1984 SAM HAHN ........????? (GUU UUU UUU UUU .... :-) joke). Even if you could insert a copyright sequence in you DNA, we'd still have the problem of submitting a copy for registration. Do you think that a cell would do, or a transcription sequence? In 10-20 years, this will probabaly be a real problem.
