Whoa!
This is an article comparing (in detail) computer code to DNA. And it is fascinating.
A co-worker started talking about an article he found by a computer programmer trying to develop a binary type language, but base-four instead of base-two, so that it would function like our DNA, and a computer could then, theoretically, be used to read DNA. Well, we haven't found that article again yet, but in looking for it I found the above article, which basically explains how DNA functions in computer programming terms...and it is, from what I can tell, an extremely accurate and detailed comparison. Awesomeness.
