See Wiki on the human genome. 3 billion base pairs, it's what we are born with, a starting point.

The resulting organism, a human being, has more complexities as it adjusts to the environment it exits in. But there is a limit to how much oinformation can be coded into a sequence of data that is 3 billion units in length.

Thanks. Have begun scanning research articles in the ball park and starting a new thread for the topic. Will post the link after the first post.

Relative to your post, I'm ASSUMING that

But there is a limit to how much information can be coded into a sequence of data that is 3 billion units in length.

a context of 3 billion units in length could theoretically hold a huge (though finite) amount of information--as I think a post upthread indicated.
