/Is/ DNA a universal programming language?
I'm not sure what a "universal programming language" means. Just 1s and 0s are enough language. I think you probably mean to ask is whether a cell is a universal computer with DNA as the program. I don't know if there's been a formal proof but it almost certainly is. Making a universal computer is pretty easy. Wolfram's rule 110 produces a universal computer in one dimension with only two colors and nearest neighbor rules.
