am I onto something in here?

genomes of animals contain more cytosine content the higher up we go in a tree of evolution

humans? lots of it (30 %)
hydravulgaris? lot less (11.8%)

it also shows humans and insects are about on the same level of "evolutionary steps" or years as both have more than 25% cytosine

insect of the day is the least evolved of them all, maybe the first insect, the wingless lepisma saccharina who come from the branch of insects before the evolution of wings started

hydra on the other hand must be one of the very first animals of any kind and considerably older than humans or insects

Maybe some cytosine sequence is responsible for action whitin transcription mechanisme, and we're more compilcated, so it's some action that makes thing compilcated.

Once I've got program written, that was for reading raw DNA sequence, and it grouped chunks of like 2-6(maybe 4 I don't remember), but small groups, of aminoacids, always separated by same amino acid. So cytosine is probably some part of encoded thing that survives more often.

Try to make this for:
-> little chunks of amino acids
-> enzymes

That's a lot of more of work than you already did.
