DNA is a functional code. It has specificity and complexity. Shannon information is just dumb information. It could be complex but not specific.
Shannon information is anything but dumb. Anyway, that's hardly a technical distinction. DNA is complex, I will grant you that, but as we have discussed before, the idea that it is 'specified' is a load of bollocks as specification as it applies to information has no coherent definition, and no one, including Dembski himself, can demonstrate that any one thing is or is not specified. Nor additionally, is the concept in any practical application being used, nor has it ever been. I don't think you understand the first thing about Shannon information or any other kind of information. But feel free to prove me wrong. Give me a workable definition of specified information. Feel free to get as technical as you like. We've been over this very subject once already, and you're repeating something you've already been refuted on and are simply being dishonest.
