RE: Blockchain Technology & Human Genetics
you're spot on with the article. but there's an error in the wikipedia quotation: the human genome is 3 billion pairs of nucleotides, that is 6 billion nucleotides, not 3. anyway, all cool.
@cristi
Yeah I didn't fact check Wikipedia on that. What I do have that I know for a fact, is that the total human genome deduped but uncompressed is 1.3GB. However once you examine the deltas between any two people that number drops to 1.4MB.
Good catch and I'm going to let someone who actually works with this stuff for a living update the Wikipedia article.
Thanks for the compliments!
keep posting these great articles!
