Protein coding DNA regions only a few % of the total dinosaur genome. So, on themselves they won't be enough.

The protein genes would then be instructed to turn on and off by genes from Crocodiles and/or Birds.

No they won't. The proper expression of genes is regulated by promotors, Enchancers and other regulatory DNA sequences that flank the genes. The code of these sequences can not be decuced from the protein code.

My best guess is that the structure of the Dino genome has to be figured out in a future version of the chickenosaurus project. The protein sequences still have their uses for the finishing touches.

Please let me know if that was unclear.
