Question

I'm looking for the amount of storage in bytes (MB, GB, TB, etc.) required to store a single human genome. I read a few articles on Wikipedia about DNA, chromosomes, base pairs, genes, and have some rough guess, but before disclosing anything I'd like to see how others would approach this issue.

An alternative question would be how many atoms are there in human DNA, but that would be off topic for this site.

I understand that this will be an approximation, so I'm looking for the minimal value that would be able to store DNA of any human.

No correct solution
