That would depend on what you mean by "connection". The human genome has approximately 200GB of data in it. And this data is highly compressed as it takes 3 different layers of decompression before it gets to usable form.
- le-mark 4y ago> decompression Does this refer to DNA -> MRNA -> to protein or is there some other mechanism here?
- tomohelix 4y agoPost translation modifications are another layer. Also, since you asked, I would like to mention protein interactions with cellular components and tissues. These can be argued as just proteins interacting with each other but the extreme complexity of these higher levels and the unique phenotypes arising from them make me think they are deserved to be treated as another layer of "data decompression".
