TOTAL BITS. "So that is a total information of 4,392,322,500 bits including the epigenome. In ASCII code, that would be 627,474,642 MB (megabytes). https://lnkd.in/eq-g674 View in LinkedIn

OOPS. "If machines become self-aware and start writing their own code, they could theoretically take control of the brain. Worse, the Internet itself could “wake up” and start controlling, well, just about everything." https://lnkd.in/da9p2nE View in LinkedIn

CODON AMPLIFICATION. "There are 21 possible results from each codon. The one “start” codon encodes one amino acid; 60 different codons encode another 19 amino acids; and three codons encode “stop”. The 3 billion base pairs would be grouped into 1 billion codons, and each codon has 21 possible meanings. So that would be 21^(1 billion) sequences of amino acids." https://lnkd.in/eq-g674 View in LinkedIn

VIRTUAL TEXTS. "The continuum that bridges distributed bodies with the recombinant communicative and associative functionality of technology is charged with the potential of extending humankind’s ability to experience, generate, operate on, store, edit, and disseminate meaningful patterns of experience." (What a sentence!) https://lnkd.in/dCVHq5S View in LinkedIn

"CODONS are triplet codes that comprise the genetic code. They consist of a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides. In total, there are 64 unique codons that can be translated into 20 amino acids that bind together to create proteins in the human body.” https://lnkd.in/d_jwvPr View in LinkedIn

BITS OF INFORMATION. "For simplicity, let’s say that each gene is either suppressed, or not, in the epigenome. That would be a binary choice for each gene. Most humans have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes. Let’s say the average is about 2^22,500 more choices. Therefore human DNA genome encodes 4^(3 billion) = 2^(6 billion) choices, or 6 billion bits of information. The epigenome encodes at least 2^22,500 choices, or 22,500 bits. The total information is 6,000,022,500 bits, or approximately 6 Gb (gigabits)." https://lnkd.in/eq-g674 View in LinkedIn

"HUMAN DNA has approximately 3 billion base pairs, according to the National Human Genome Research Institute. That means 4^3,000,000,000 possible base sequences." https://lnkd.in/eq-g674 View in LinkedIn

ONLY FOUR NUCLEOTIDES BUILD DNA. "DNA is a long molecule, like a chain, where the links of the chain are pieces called nucleotides (sometimes also called 'bases'). There are four different types of nucleotides in DNA which we'll call 'A', 'G', 'C' and 'T'. These four are all that's necessary to write a code that describes our entire body plan. Sounds too simple? Keep in mind that Morse Code uses only four symbols (dot, dash, short spaces and long spaces), and you could spell out entire encyclopedias of knowledge with that simple code!" https://lnkd.in/d_a7EW4 View in LinkedIn

"TEN MILLION COMPOUNDS are known, and of these, 9 million are carbon based. Many were synthesized after Wohler proved that chemical like urea could be synthesized (1828), destroying the Vital Force theory that supposed that organic compounds must come from pre-existing life." The number of possible chemicals are greater than the number of grains of sand (7.5 x 10(18)). https://lnkd.in/dcWgC9X View in LinkedIn

“118 ELEMENTS in the periodic table compose the planets and all the universes. Only 94 are found naturally and of these, 7 are novel gases that only form compounds with difficulty. This is the entire list of the fundamental known elements. The remaining 87 are the building blocks that combine to make compounds. Biological compounds, mainly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen with a little phosphorus and sulfur compose 99% of living structures.” http://www.ptable.com/ View in LinkedIn
