"What type or algorithm of compression exists in DNA such that all the complexity of creating a person fits in only 2.36 gigabytes of base-pair information?" My attempt at answering this: https://qr.ae/TWtvKs

Replying to @Plinz
Some thoughts: 1. The more compressed the phenotype is w/in the DNA, the more far-reaching implications I'd expect any DNA change to have. Which seems like it would limit the potential to evolve & so limit the viable level of compression. Is that at all right or is it nonsense?

2. What opportunities, if any, are afforded by the 'runtime environment' of biochemistry, in terms of enabling organism functionality for cheap/free WRT size of genetic code required? (Again, does this make any sense?)

Some basic organic chemistry happens naturally, but it appears that most of the crucial metabolic cycles had to be discovered by extensive evolutionary search and did not come for cheap.
