[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-01-07] [Hit: ]
so you can get 4 base pairs into one byte.-2.9 billion bases in the human genome.Divide by 4 and you get 725 megabytes.So, you could put the human genome and one or two songs on a CD.......
It only takes 2 bits to store one of A, C, G or T, so you can get 4 base pairs into one byte.
