This gets tricky in a way that leads computer folks to their doom in biology.
DNA transcribes to RNA, except DNA is a molecule with molecular interactions and those interactions determine which DNA gets transcribed to RNA (plus there's the whole introns and extrons thing, which, good luck).
RNA transcribes to proteins, except that RNA is also a molecule, and has a tendency to fold into functional forms, including ribosomes which are involved in transcribing RNA.
The amino acid chains that become proteins are molecules - their interactions between each other and the surrounding environment are what cause them to fold into their effective forms (chemical function is determined by molecular form) - except they're not just produced all at once, they're chained one at a time, and it turns out that if you do just create that string of amino acids all in one go, it won't fold into the same shape as it does while being transcribed, so the informatics is interesting but the transcription process is also a factor, and transcription speed is affected by availability of both the amino acids and the TRNA, so even swapping one codon for another that represents the same amino acid can actually affect the protein structure and function.
So, Yes, there's some abstraction, but it'll lead you astray if you think you can ignore the actual physical reality, and it's definitely the case that nature is not ignoring the physical reality and is operating on molecules, not informatics.
