In cognitive informatics and neuroinformatics, it’s identified that DNA of any cell carries upto 33Pb, i.e., 32,985,348,833,280,000 bit, genetic information [ICIC, http://www.ucalgary.ca/icic/].
Because mutations and replication errors of such extremely large amount of DNA information may happen locally and differently among various cells from time to time, a crucial mechanism known as “inconsistency of genome information [Wang, 2013]” becomes inevitable in individual bodies, especially aged people. Therefore, the cumulated inconsistency of genome information among cells of an individual, or the decayed integrity of genetic information, is perhaps the key source of common health problems such as cancers, diabetes, and aging-related diseases.
