Data Storage...in DNA

Data Storage...in DNA


You know DNA as being the foundation from which organic life arose.  Some scientists are starting to know it as a shockingly massive storage area. Earlier this year English biologists were able to encode various files into DNA, and then extract them with 99.99% accuracy. Audio, text, and images were all successfully retrieved in the experiment. In the near future, you may be able to store millions and millions of hours of your favorite YouTube videos right in your biological make up.
