> Imagine running a diff but with nucleotides

That's my point. Two different books of similar length in the same language will probably diff more closely than the same book translated. (Even if we limit ourselves to the same character set.) That says nothing about the content, just the encoding.



The analogy breaks down because there’s really only one language when it comes to interpreting nucleotide sequences.
