It seems to me that you could use the DNA encodings for common
words like "the" and "and" as a marker for PCR. A soop of such
initiators, followed by a gel for the longest fragments should
crack this code quickly. You might need a second "backwards" PCR
step to recover the very begining of the message.
this does not lead to secret messages.
this leads to the ultimate in biometrics.
