In the context of behavior, that too imposes some subjectivity on the process.
I don't think that's quite right. If the DNA is interacting with the environment, and the conscious agency doesn't have control of this interaction, it's still objective.
Well, for instance, in the field of dietetics we are learning that certain lifestyle choices and diet choices have the potential power to "turn on" or "turn off" particular genes (nutrigenomics), so in that particular area of genomics, the individual does have some control over gene expression.
