This article somewhat touches upon the issue of "bio-programming" but it doesn't give credit where it is due. People have been studying "bio-compiler/machine code" for decades. The difficulty is that there are many different compilers at work. Just to name a few: protein folding, chemical gradient regulation, inter/intra-cellular signaling, etc. All of which "compiles" chemical composition into actual physical function. But each of the process alone is so complex, it takes years to un-cover a small portion of the black box, not to mention most of these "compilers" are inter-dependent with each other. So it is close to impossible to use the limited knowledge we have un-covered to predict other novel code -> function compilation. I worked in a protein folding lab before. Just to be blunt here, no one really has a clue.
