He USES zeroes and ones to represent the very first chemical building blocks of life (most likely compounds based on adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine or uracil).

他用许多0和1来表示最早期时生命的化学成分(很可能是由腺嘌呤、胸腺嘧啶、鸟嘌呤、胞嘧啶和尿嘧啶组成的化合物)。

Most important, they can't read the 3 billion letters--A, C, T and G, for the nucleotides adenine, cytosine, thymine and guanine--in the human genome from beginning to end, the way one reads a book.
