Bill Toland, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, October 5, 2014

"Imagine a stack of Bibles, more than 5 billion of them, reaching from the

Earth to the Moon: That?s roughly the amount of patient medical data that 
will be stored by UPMC?s health information systems come the end of 2016.

One full human genetic sequence translates into more than 1 terabyte of 
data (or 244,000 King James Bibles? worth of information). As genomic 
sequences move out of the university research setting and into everyday 
patient care, hospitals are developing methods of storing those sequences 
so they are readily accessible to clinicians, as well as researchers."
