We all know that the next revolution in data storage may come from DNA.
Yes, it sounds a bit odd to many of you but, it is true.
As, recently, Harvard scientists have inserted a GIF of a horse into living bacteria.
Scientists Just Encoded A GIF Into The DNA
The next revolution in data storage may come from DNA.
So far, the data were stored in synthetic DNA.
The genetic code has a logic similar to the binary system used in computers.
But how to write data to a living cell?
This technique is inspired by a mechanism of defense of the bacteria.
These attacks are recorded in the reverse chronology of when they occurred.
The Harvard team used this mechanism to record data on the DNA of E. coli bacteria.
First, the scientists encoded images and videos composed of black and white pixels in the form of DNA.
The cells then multiplied.
