I'm sure someone can get the CPU/GPU running but things like wifi/bluetooth/USB ports will be rough since they will presumably integrated with the chip in a non-standardized ARM way. Almost all of the ARM laptops are basically unusable with GNU/Linux.
Which ones have you tried? Right now I'm on an MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910.and wifi/USB/sleep/hibernate works. DT is going to be the death of ARM, but the real challenge has been to get the GPU to work under Firefox.
There are also fairly strict limits, given human mutation and reproductive rates, on the amount of information that can be preserved in the genome. Most of the genome is therefore meaningless (although not necessarily useless). As this article points out, these regions allow for random creation of novel proteins
