This type of genetic information, due to its defined vocabulary, its contextuality and its

selection for survival advantage, thus differs significantly from other types of information,

for example from physics (physical state bits, for example in transistors, quantum bits,

In the same way, the consistency of sequence analyses is checked for proteins:

Everything must fit together. If contradictions arise, one of the partial analysis results has
