What Limits a Genome’s Size?

Codon

Credit: Oriane Hidalgo Per the book Cell Biology by the Numbers , each base pair of DNA occupies 1 nm 3 of space. So how can a genome 50 times longer—equivalent to 2,000 kilometers of thread, or roughly the distance between Cairo and Rome—do the same?

I was reading a lot of molecular biology papers about different systems, especially circadian clocks, and also a book called Biological Feedback , by Thomas and D’Ari, that sketched out really simple models for different kinds of feedback circuits. So many kinds of people have contributed to biology in different ways.
