We are at the "assembly" stage of genetic tinkering. Manually changing over the 'machine code' of the cell, the linear sequence of physically bound instructions

We are at the "assembly" stage of genetic tinkering. Manually changing over the 'machine code' of the cell, the linear sequence of physically bound instructions. I wonder what the future might bring in terms of higher level programming of cells.
