Encoding information in DNA has long seemed like a promising way to secure data for the long term, but so far it has required an expert touch. It turns out that you don’t need to be a scientist to ...

An international team of molecular biologists, computer scientists and physicists has found a way to encode useable digital data onto DNA strands 350 times faster than current approaches. In their ...

DNA has been used for years to store data, but encoding information into the molecule is painstaking work. Now, researchers have drastically sped it up by mimicking a natural biological process that ...

In context: Due to its mind-boggling density, scientists have explored using DNA as a data storage medium for years. A single gram of DNA could theoretically hold a staggering 215,000 terabytes of ...
