Yeah I've always thought of genes as like dynamic code, it's hard to tell what's going on until you run it



I used to work for company that make DNA sequencer machine as embedded SW dev ~20 years ago.

I think the genes is more like static code. One can clone it easily. RNA is like the stack, RSS, Register states - expression of the genes.

DNA is like a class, RNA is the object that is instantiation of the class.

BTW, the double helix structure is very much like full unit test coverage for the bio-programming.
