How is genetic engineering like computer programming?
We discovering how immensely complicated our "program scripts" (DNA) are. There are so many intricacies, but using computers and heaps of data we can essentially use probability to determine how exactly everything works. There are inconsistencies, but those just open up new worlds.

DNA is a key, if understood as a very long digital sequence of bytecode. Except that in information systems the bytecode is made up of 0s and 1s, the DNA is made up of A, T, G and C. Imagine a computer network. We could call it a tissue, as it is assembled of cells (computers). Each cell is programmable. ChaCha on!

DNA code, like binary code, is simple in its basic structure. It's the sequencing and functioning of that code that's complex.
