I think Deepak has made a useful observation. At one level an engineer 
won't care about the DNA sequence, of more interest is the functional 
properties of the boxes he/she is putting together. On the other hand, 
the designer of functional boxes will be concerned with the DNA sequence 
since in designing for example a promoter or gene with a specific 
property the DNA sequence is clearly paramount. It looks like there may 
be a natural separation here.
