he human genome is estimated to contain some 3 billion base pairs - so (again, simplifying) 3 billion bits = 0.35 gigabytes - so each cell in our body encodes roughly a third of a gigabytes of information - that’s a pretty high information density, especially considering that the double helix DNA in our cells is a minute proportion of the cell as a whole (and that the process of cell reproduction produces RNA strands which may be present in a cell as well).

That is for one human, mind you.
