There must be some DNA or protein sequences that are not compatible with life, perhaps because they bind some essential cellular component, for example, and have therefore been selected out of circulation. There may also be some that are lethal in some species, but not others. We’re looking for those sequences.

looking for the shortest DNA strands not expressed anywhere: they might be too deadly. that reads almost like a script for a ‘dangers of GNR tech’ movie
