The shape, and the function of certain molecules, thanks to evolutionary pressure, became the language for programming those functions through the shapes, the proteins express certain functions as veritable molecular machines. The programming language that the biological operating system uses is DNA. We are starting to understand how from DNA through RNA and ribosomes, the recipe for creating certain proteins, ie molecular machines, influences what we are.
Digital biology, the understanding the digital nature of biology is a huge achievement that we are still in the process of completely unlocking. It is going to shape the world.
