Researchers have devised a new technology to convert digital data into a four-letter genetic alphabet with minimal errors, and use synthetic DNA as storage, TechRadar reports on Saturday, Apr. 10.
The latest development brings DNA storage, a technology that can store data a thousand times more than the conventional magnetic hard drive, into reality.
DNA Storage Breakthrough: Overcoming Obstacles in Digital to Molecular Data Conversion
DNA synthesis, the process of encoding binary files into a molecule, organizes the building blocks of DNA into various arrangements indicated by sequences of the letters A, C, G, and T.
Previous methods yield very high error rates and harder to correct since DNA storage comes from different sources compared to the digital world.
