How to distinguish anything in this white noise? Reduce everything to a series of zeroes and ones, of equivalences and otherwise?

Decoded cDNA began tumbling out of his machine. A portion of these decoded regions were used as tags--he called them expressed sequence tags (ESTs)--to help scientists distinguish one gene from another and identify related genes even in other species. "His invention of ESTs was inspired," says Victor McKusick, a geneticist at Johns Hopkins University who is often called the father of genetic medicine. In June 1991, when Venter published his first paper based on this work, scientists had identified only about 4,000 genes, each one representing years of painstaking labor. In one day, Venter added...
