What's vastly different between software instructions in dwarf fortress vs DNA is what actually computes the code. There is a negligible amount of complexity in made-made computers vs what goes on in a cell. There are layers upon layers of complexity that goes from genotype to phenotype.
I am a bioinformatician with a genetics background. I've always had this abstract overview of DNA as a highly compressed dataset and geneticists are essentially trying to figure out the encoding.
