"The purine–pyrimidine and hydrogen donor–acceptor patterns governing nucleotide recognition are shown to correspond formally to a digital error-detecting (parity) code, suggesting that factors other than physicochemical issues alone shaped the natural nucleotide alphabet."

Implications of this one should be fairly obvious...

A combination of two things should have ended the debate on evolution prior to this: One the failure of the fruit fly experiments which had been widely expected to prove the reality of macroevolution and, two, the discovery of the information code of RNA/DNA.

The logical, big-picture conclusion from that is that our entire living world is driven by an information code and information, and the fruit fly experiments failed precisely because the only information there ever was in the picture was that for a fruit fly. In other words you have a coercive proof that macroevolution cannot happen followed by a sound understand of why that is so.

The thing about parity checking is just icing on all of that.
