It starts by defining a cell as a bakery. First of all, what exactly is more systematic in comparing a cell to a bakery? Other than the fact that both things produce crap the analogy has no real substance. And there are so many wrong facts in that one paragraph (many of our genes are present as more than two copies in our genome, for one).
You are absolutely correct, there’s an information theoretical underpinning of genomics and systems biology that’s rarely if ever tackled in text books but (a) neither does this course tackle it, and (b) you can’t just skip on biochem basics and Jump to that. That’s like trying to become a physicist without learning math.
