  ABSTRACT: Based on the number of available sites for adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine on all DNA strands, the information theoretical entropy as well as the configurational entropy of a DNA strand is calculated. The number of possibilities for the formation of human DNA is also discussed and it is shown that, in addition to sharing 99.9% of their DNA, there must be other hidden factors limiting the observed genetic variations in humans.
