The human genome is about 770 MB, the C. elegans genome is about100 MB, the yeast S. cerevisiae is about 12 MB. Different othergenomes have been sequenced: how many GB of genomic DNA we havenow?
Let say we would like to make a Noah hard-disk ark: how muchspace would it take to represent the genomes of all known specieson earth? There is a way to provide an estimate?
I'm also interested in the total biodiversity: for instance, iftwo species each have 1 GB genomes and have half of their DNA incommon this would count as 1.5 GB.
