http://vadim.oversigma.com/MAS862/Project.html Apparently human dna uses only 3% of the data on it...the rest is there as junk to prevent mutations and other problems...furthermore these 3% used are just 45MB of data!

Are you kidding? Who uses CDs anymore? You could fit 1,000 genomes on a single double layered BluRay (45 GB, as opposed to 700 MB).
A BlueRay is a CD too Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I figure...lets live our lives and when we are like totally old we burn ourselves on a CD so that in future perhaps they will run us as software Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
They can't completely duplicate your genome, I think. I think there are huge sections of satellite DNA around the centromeres and end repeats that are impossible to read using the shotgun method.
