Human Genome Size: The human genome is estimated to contain approximately 3.1 billion base pairs.
Data Storage Calculation: Assuming 2 bits per base pair (since there are four nucleotides: A, C, T, G), the total size of the human genome can be calculated as follows:
The estimated size is approximately 736.3 MiB.
Page Count Estimation: If we assume an average of 1,000 words per page, with each word averaging 5 letters (plus a space), this results in about 6,000 characters per page. Given that each character is approximately 1 byte, this equates to:
This means that the human genome's information could fill around 1 million pages of text.
