I doubt they stored the raw data the sequence was derived from. The entire genome is copied in every cell, so the total amount of information per body is ~1.5 GB * 100 trillion cells per body. That would be 140,000 exabytes (136 zettabytes). Abd is correct that natural selection is not a random process. This is a widespread misunderstanding. - Jed
