Of course the description of the genome presented here is over-simplification of the process. The genome and the cell are much more complicated than a simple Turing machine. However I have to emphasize two main ideas:
First, saying that the biological machinery is more complex doesn't mean that you cannot evaluate the complexity of an organism from its genome. It's just means that you need to make your model more complex, and include the necessary parameters such as RNA interference, epigenetic, and cellular activity into account.
