I thought I had a clue on how to translate it, but all I'm coming up with is Gibberish
DNA has been used to encode books. They just use two sets (DNA comes in packets of 4) and use that to make a Binary string for an ASCI letter. You just have to assign A,C,G or T to be the zeros and the others to be the ones.
Say you use A,G = 0 and C,T = 1
ACTGTTAC would equal 01101101 which becomes 'm'
As far as I can count, the code is 1416 letters long, which makes 177 strings of 8. (177 letters in the code) But I have assigned different combinations of A,G,T and C to the 0's and 1's and I still just get Gibberish.
Hopefully this give someone else a clue on cracking it. I'm helping my girlfriend move this weekend. So no spare time for more cracking
