Can we really consider any part of a genome random? I means your second example isn't part of it, so I guess it's "random" but if you compare any part, it would come from evolution and without this, the virus wouldn't survive most probably (or at least, not like it does currently).
What makes special aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is that it's a pattern that we can spot easily. I'm pretty sure that any other patterns would make us curious about whether it's important or not. It seems like something that is graspable.
