DNA AS INFO OR MEASURED BY ENTROPY. “The information content for coding regions is 0.4 bit per triplet and for non-coding regions 0.18 bit per triplet. For 3 billion base pairs, or 1 billion triplets, this gives us an actual information content of 0.4 billion bits or 50 Mbytes assuming the best case scenario that all DNA is coding or about 24 Mbytes if all the DNA is non-coding.””
