I am struggling to understand what is this quote about.
- fragmede 3y agoThe copying of human DNA to make a new one.
- gary_0 3y agoThe number of human DNA base pairs. The data to grow a starting zygote into a brain with a default neural template (to keep it alive and allow it to start learning), and peripheral systems (the body). As binary data, 3.2B base pairs is 800MB.
