Right. It's so much context dependent that the "hardware" of a different animal may react very differently to it - perhaps even ignoring it altogether. The genetic information is really the 4.8 kB of "code" PLUS the entire information already contained in the cellular hardware reading it. One doesn't make sense without the other. At the very bottom, the whole thing depends on the laws of quantum mechanics in this universe, governing the minute details of molecular interaction. That, too, should be considered to go into the "code". Make a tiny change to the Plank constant, and the Zaire ebolavirus code will do something very different.
