Robert Picton was convicted of murdering 26 women,

Every human is 99.9% genetically identical.

But that 0.1% difference comprises a 3 billion letter-long genetic code, with its combinations

And with our 36 trillion cells,

containing six feet of DNA, if our genome were to be stretched

into a single thread, it would stretch to the sun and back ten times.

Only it would weigh just six one trillionths of a gram.

The oldest DNA discovered so far. of a gram.

The oldest DNA discovered so far is over 2 million years old, with a DNA of Richard
