How much progress has actually been made since the human genome (and now many others) were mapped at the turn of the century?
It has been claimed that the genome of a cabbage or potatoe was more complex than that of a human and not so long ago it was even believed that 98% of human DNA was ‘junk’ (redundant or non-coding).
Analysing genetic sequences for rhythms and patterns to extrapolate predictive information is simply not going to work when missing so much primary function information. The evaluation of linear sequences CCCTTGTCATT etc without understanding the related 3-dimensional atomic positions of those sequences within the helix will not lead very far.
Since the onset of synthetic manipulation in the 1970’s many variant ‘dna’ structures including Z, T, D, C etc have appeared (Bansal, M. (2003) Current Science, vol 85, 1556-1563). I’d even argue that these structures would not necessarily exist without the synthetic construction predisposed to C/W specifications. Imaging such a structure is by no means proof of its authenticity in the natural world. The very fact that proof imagery can be gained from such structures but not the natural organic ones should have been flagged up long ago.
