Description
Distribution
This marine species occurs off South Australia
gollark: I mean, it's still probably small enough to fit on a cheap USB stick.
gollark: Epigenetic whatever?
gollark: I think I have Minecraft worlds bigger than a human genome somewhere.
gollark: Wikipedia says "3,100 Mbp (mega-basepairs) per haploid genome6,200 Mbp total (diploid).", so that seems right.
gollark: How long is human DNA? A few gigabytes?
