生物系统集成了多尺度过程和网络，因此被视为难以剖析。然而，由于软件代码（基因组序列中编码的信息）和硬件（生物体）之间的明确分离，基因组编辑可以作为软件工程师来破解生物系统，而无需对系统的复杂性有任何特别深入的了解。
Biological systems integrate multiscale processes and networks and are, therefore, viewed as difficult to dissect. However, because of the clear-cut separation between the software code (the information encoded in the genome sequence) and hardware (organism), genome editors can operate as software engineers to hack biological systems without any particularly deep understanding of the complexity of the systems.
