I haven't read anyone's suggestions yet, but for me the end of the 
gene relates to the biological, chemical unit of heredity rather than 
the end of the building codes altogether.  Partially biological and 
future humans need building codes whether they are disembodied or a 
material posthumans.

A near-future building code is nanogenetics. A key characteristic of 
the nano-gene is that the gene becomes a nonbiological transport 
vehicle for mutable data to regenerate the human rather than simply a 
static blueprint/construction plan.
