"That's why I think software is a poor analogy for DNA." - Nebullis

What?! Not only is human software a good analogy for DNA, but DNA is genetic programming!

Gene's are subroutines. Likewise, A, C, G, and T bases are the Base 4 equivilent to human 0's and 1's for our Base 2 (AKA "binary") systems. Re-sequence either and you can get different organisms, features, or programs, respectively.

[Nebullis]

Genetic programming is an idea borrowed from life. But in real life, context is extremely important for DNA sequence expression. Don't make the mistake of imposing the limitations of the model on real life.
