Abstract

Polymers that are biocompatible are useful for various medical purposes such as tissue repair, reconstruction and wound healing. A method and composition for producing a biocompatible polymer formed from nucleic acids is disclosed. The nucleic acid polymer may be used to form a hybrid with an existing polymer to create a copolymer. The nucleic acids may be also be selected to encode particular proteins which may then be expressed in a biological tissue.
