To do the math, each base pair takes 2 bits (you can use 00, 01, 10, and 11 for T, G, C and A). Multiply that by the number of base pairs in the human genome, and you get 2 * 3 billion = 6,000,000,000 bits. And remember, you have to go from bits to bytes to get to an answer in megabytes. A bit is just a single unit of digital information, but a byte is a sequence of bits (usually 8).
Both genes and genomes come in a variety of sizes. About 1,000 base pairs would be enough DNA to encode most proteins. But intronsâextra or nonsense sequences inside genesâmake many genes longer than that. Human genes are commonly around 27,000 base pairs long, and some are up to 2 million base pairs.
