Thanks dave.

If you only need these 4 characters to appear randomly you can apply this expression to the ‘Source Text’ property:

c = ['A','C','G','T'];
s = "";
for(x=0; x < value.length; x++){ r = Math.floor(random(0, c.length)); s += c[r]; } s

This will turn every character in text layer into a random selection of As, Cs, Gs and Ts on every frame. If you need more control over the changes of the text then your setup will be more complicated.

is there an expression do this if you needed the letters to stay in specific groups? I’m doing a similar project but the letters need to stay spelling words with spaces.
