Why do they say on wikipedia that it takes enormous amount
of memory to save entire genome of one human?
I seem to be confused ,you will forgive my ignorance and please correct me.
So they say there's 6 billion base pairs. They only come in two combinations.
AT -0 , CG-1.
So for 6 billion we need 6G*8b *(1/8 B/b) = 750 MB // This is possibley wrong. Why?
