I disagree. Sure, you can describe your patented process/machine/etc. with text, which you can in turn represent as a sequence of bits. But there's a difference between the patented thing being described with a series of bits and it actually being a series of bits. Genes are purely a series of bits. But unless you want to specify the exact place where every atom goes through some crazy coordinates, you can't represent an actual machine as a series of bits--you can just describe it with a series of bits.
