If we ignore the mutations in the life of an individual, it would actually only be a few hundreds megabytes. Or if we already have a template of a human genome and we only code the difference between them and the human we want to copy, a few megabytes is enough since we all share A LOT of sequences
ya I’ve kind of been wondering if with how foods and random mutations affect dna I doubt you could use baby you dna to get an adult that actually looks exactly like you

There is also epigenetic modifications to be considered
