Since certain lines of code are illegal, will certain sequences of DNA also one day be illegal?

they already are, if you try and make something copyrighted like Glo-Fish or a Monstanto crop you can be sued

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

Yes. Because they will be used for genetically modifying viruses and making them resistant to drugs. Or they will be naturally occurring and we will have edited them out.

Illegal in what sense, formal or copyright? It should also go without saying that physics prohibits all sorts of things in biology, in particular any chemosynthetic process that isn't thermodynamically efficient enough to be feasible in anything equipped with all the other stuff required for self-replication, and substances that interfere with such processes, better known as poisons. This is not to mention that formulating a list of sequences valid in the sense that they code for molecules stable enough to build with, is a gargantuan task from the outset.

They already are. Some Monsanto seeds have copyrighted DNA requiring you to buy new ones instead of reusing the ones plants produce. Also I think some seeds have Roundup weed killer built in, so that's could be a copyright issue.
