14) Agroverbalia: Use an electron beam to write different words on the surface of seeds. Grow the plants and observe 
what words yield robust plants. Plant seeds in different meaningful arrays. Explore hybridization of meanings.

7) Luciferase signaling: create bard fireflies by manipulating the genes that code for bioluminescence, enabling them to 
use their light for whimsical (creative) displays, in addition to the standard natural uses (e.g., scaring off predators 
and attracting mates or smaller creatures to devour).

4) Transgenic poetry: synthesize DNA according to invented codes to write words and sentences using combinations of 
nucleotides. Incorporate these DNA words and sentences into the genome of living organisms, which then pass them on to 
their offspring, combining with words of other organisms. Through mutation, natural loss and exchange of DNA material 
new words and sentences will emerge. Read the transpoem back via DNA sequencing.
