Long sequences of letters A, C, T and G are not the subject of the patent.

then why shouldn't they be able to own numbers as well?
Isn't that the reason that Intel didn't use the 586 moniker for their follow up to the 486 as they found they couldn't own (via trademark) numbers? (They called it the pentium instead - shouldn't the pentium II have been called the hexium?)

Sorry, don't think you'd be able to patent that: Logan's Run would be prior art!?
