An Estimate of the Total DNA in the Biosphere
Modern whole-organism genome analysis, in combination with biomass estimates, allows us to estimate a lower bound on the total information content in the biosphere: 5.3 × 10(31) (±3.6 × 10(31)) megabases (Mb) of DNA. Given conservative estimates regarding DNA transcription rates, this information co...
