Dead Bang and Lisa

That may be true for ordinarly DNA, but metagene DNA may be another
thing entirely (and Doug's DNA in particular may be difficult to work
with if his
chaos field operates on a cellular level).

This is about like asking if there really is a particular frequency of gamma rays that will turn people exposed to them big and green. There might be complications from their interaction with other genes, like the telepathy complex in Catharine Asaro's Skolian books, but all a DNA segment does is produce a particular protein or enzyme. Macrobiotic effects come when the relative levels of that target protein 'snowball' into differences in overall tissues.
If you have the gene, you can clone it. Period. The tricky part is putting it into something more complicated than a bacterium.
