Could it be that our understanding of DNA variations is incomplete?

There was some article a few years back where a virus was observed mutating its RNA in what appeared to be some sort of algorithm, like running a virtual machine on proteins. What if DNA does the same, i.e. being not just data but also an interpreter with some changing memory?



Thats an interesting idea. Any help looking up that article would be appreciated.


It's difficult to find anything relevant on Google nowadays :-( If I manage to find it, I will post a link
