Programming in a different domain
summary
Asserts that DNA is programmable like code: codons are triplets of bases and enzymes act like runtime, viruses deliver payloads as information, and researchers now use CRISPR cuts specific DNA sequences to target and edit loci. Demonstrates the concrete claim that genome edits effectively flip bits in genomes, positions editing tools and sequencing as the main tools, and frames the result as practical early-stage capability with therapeutic promise rather than mere analogy.
