It's interesting you mentioned that. I heard a talk from some folks at
the Broad institute who were essentially "diffing" sequences in yeast

I was astounded at how close what they are doing is to some of the
reverse engineering I've done. Looked almost identical to me.
lots of conditional subroutine calls in a Turing machine :-)
