Yap There is also evidence that skipping breakfast is now common in the developed world: in the USA, the proportion of adults eating breakfast fell from 86% to 75% between 1965 and 1991.

As the comment above said there are 4 bases. The base id could be represented in a 2-bit field for each base in a sequence. So, for storing, A G C T could be stored as 00 01 10 11 respectively and then retrieved and converted to human readable A G C T.

So this is the size of a reference haploid human genome, not a complete human individual genome, which would be twice as much data!

I certainly do not expect the structure of a skin cell to be written down as many times as there are cells ; or mitohondria described x-times, etc.
One time is enough. You still have to position the cells precisely along the lines of the fingerprints, and i do not want to even mention the brain. The exact position of a single hair - 2 mm right or left might be of low priority to the organism, but the way the nerve cells are connected certainly isn't.

3 billion is the size of a *haploid* human genome. Since we have two copies of each of our chromosomes (except for men and the sex chromosomes), technically the number of bases is 6 billion, though of course the vast majority of these will be the same between two homologous chromosomes. But I'm sure the compression algorithm would recognize that...

The two halves of the diploid genome are complementary to each other so technically you only need to store one half of it to have all the genome's information content. Although I may be wrong in this assumption. :)

Let's allow even fractals as a compression method for the main forms and topologies of higher mammals, unlikely as it may seem. Whichever the way such unimaginably high compressions are to be achieved, an enormous processing power is necessary to 'read ' the stored information.

Write the literal letters "A G C T." If ASCII is the encoding your biotech or lab uses for massive DNA files, you are over 3.5 times the data (so 3.5 the bandwidth, 3.5 the storage, and sometimes 3.5 the processing power.)

Pretty cool. The reference human genome still contains some unknown portions.

The reference human genome still contains some unknown portions, so you need to be able to represent at least one possibility in addition to ACGT. But since you were talking probably about the real human genome, not the current unfinished data, that problem wouldn't apply.

To determine incense’s psychoactive effects, the researchers administered incensole acetate to mice. They found that the compound significantly affected areas in brain areas known to be involved in emotions as well as in nerve circuits that are affected by current anxiety and depression drugs.

Humans are diploid: they two of each autosome and two sex chromosomes. So this is the size of a reference haploid human genome, not a complete human individual genome, which would be twice as much data. (2 music CDs) Thanks, neandrothal!
