Now, the bacterial DNA will be exploited to store long-standing data conservation, thanks to the researchers at Keio University, Japan who have developed this new technology.
They have implemented the Einstein’s “e= mc2 1905!” theory on the widespread soil bacteria, Bacillus subtilis.
An excerpt from the study:
The practical realization of DNA data storage is a major scientific goal. Here we introduce a simple, flexible and robust data storage and retrieval method based ON sequence alignment of the genomic DNA of living organism.
Scientists claim the new technique to be efficient enough to store the data that could last for centuries.
