There are 4 bases so each base can represent 2 bits, there are 8 bits per byte so that comes out to just 750 meg, and that's enough assembly instructions to make not just a brain and all its wiring but a entire human baby. So the instructions MUST contain wiring instructions such as "wire a neuron up this way and then and then repeat that procedure exactly the same way 917 billion times". And there is a huge amount of redundancy in the human genome, if you used a file compression program like ZIP on that 750 meg you could easily put the entire thing on half a CD, not a DVD not a Blu ray just a old fashioned steam powered vanilla CD.
