3. -Your genome is 99.9% similar to nearly every other human on Earth.
So, for only .1% difference, every person is separated from others!
-Your DNA can store all of the world’s data in one room!
-1 gram of DNA is capable of storing 215 million gigabytes(!) of data.
The entire human genome requires 3GBs of computer data storage
space.
