Most probably the genome encoding is compressed. It will be interesting to find out with what kind compression algorithm it is compressed and how this algorithm works and how efficient and resilient it is - in comparison with other known compression algorithms... And changing the genome seems similar to changing the application executable binary files by writing specific bytes at specific positions in files - without understanding how the whole application binary works - at trying and seeing "what will happen" if we change this part of genome...
