Future data centers might switch to a storage medium that nature has been using for billions of years – DNA. In a major step towards making that a reality, scientists have created a new system ...

Writing in Nature, Zhang et al. 2 report a fresh take on DNA data storage inspired by epigenetics — the biological systems that regulate gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.

More crucially, compared to earlier methods of DNA data storage, the team's innovative system is easily reproducible and scalable. "As we push the boundaries of DNA data storage, ...

DNA-based information is a new field hoping to fill the gap in long-term data storage by using DNA as an information storage medium. Despite DNA’s potential, researchers face problems accurately ...

DNA isn’t just for genetics anymore—it’s shaping up to be the ultimate storage device, especially for your photographs.

The DNA computer is still in its infancy. But unlike previous generations, this one captures storage and compute in one system. “There’s a lot of excitement about molecular data storage and ...

As efficient as electronic data storage systems can be, they've got nothing on nature's own version – DNA. A new technique ...

A single gram can hold 215,000 TB. Technique inspired by epigenetics might help unlock that potential Scientists have ...

In the future, your photos might not live on your phone or in the cloud—but inside strands of DNA. While that might sound ...

DNA storage still has many strides left to make before it can compete with traditional data storage. The new system is more expensive than either traditional data storage techniques or previous ...

The DNA movable-type storage system presents a promising route towards economical, sustainable, and environmentally friendly data storage solutions. With the ongoing advancement of high-throughput ...
