Is DNA information or not? See this statement or question a lot. Here's my understanding based on general college education.
DNA is comprised of nucleotides the ordering of the nucleotide groups is what we think of as to the genetic code or what makes the difference between an animal a human or various characteristics of either.
So I would argue that it is true the DNA is not the "information" if you will it does contain the ordering of the various nucleotide groups which make us who we are and what we are.
In coding you have various files that make a program. The ordering of those files and how they import is important or the code won't run or you'll get errors as a resource may not yet be defined. When it is called connected and compiled you have the resulting container which can be used to execute the code.
To me DNA is that container.
