There is a sense in which the information encoded in a gene sequence can be represented by two bits per base pair location. The reality, however, is that this is far from a complete description. Although many academically and medically interesting things might be done from the minimalist sequence data, no real organism is going self-construct in developmental real time at this data rate no matter how much parallelism is used.
