Curiously, though, we don't really know it is coded in DNA.

Michael Levin has been discovering lately that biology is more complicated than we thought. His YT videos are mind-boggling. Flatworm genetics are a dog's breakfast that the cells work around by means nobody understands.

What do you mean by this specifically? What claims does he make? It's hard to respond to this just based on what you wrote. I don't think biologists have claimed that biology isn't complicated, and I don't think anyone claims that DNA isn't complicated either. Unless you are referring to genetics? That is still caused by DNA, just not by gene expression.
His talks are some of the most fascinating I’ve ever heard. Nick Lane is a close second.
Michael Levin's work is awesome
