Dear colleagues,
In all official Knowledge Bases it is stated, that even Novice BE can take part in faction base destruction as hacker of DNA sequence.
But some experienced players claim, that in recent Publishes it was changed to M-BE. What is true currently?

Unless there has been a change, novice BE is all that is needed to do DNA sequencing.

it is fun to do, you have to match 26 or 24 strings of DNA.. it is really fun if you have never done it or read about how to do it.. I remember the first time I "hacked" the DNA sequence, I had no idea what I needed to do. it took me like 5 minutes to figure it out (while we were under attack) so the group of people that I was with stood there and protected me. I typed in the group chat, "it's a F***ing puzzle, I have to figure some sh** out about gc at ta cg? F***"
so with lots of clicking I never acually figured out what i was supposed to do at that time, but I did get the DNA sequence hacked. after the base was destroyed I came to the forums so I could read what i was really supposed to do. I know now, and I betI can beat 5 minutes now

My guild is planning to start some FBase operations. but I'm the only BE in it and I'm only 2-3-2-0, so was wondering... 
I think, that requirements for Base demolition is a great way to team building and fun...

This is one of the few areas in BE that actually has a scientific basis.
A C T G are the symbols used for the real nucleotides in DNA, and the strands are matched by A-T and C-G, since those bases bond to each other.
The only difference is that the second strand *should* be in reverse order, since in real life the strands are going in opposite directions, but I suppose that would make the puzzle extremely difficult for non-biology types.
Now, as towhy it takes a waist-high box to hold a microscopic sample of DNA, your guess is as good as mine.

haha... going back to high school science since i took none in college. definate perk though to the be professions.
