DNA for data storage
Description
Similar to bits in binary code (0, 1), the nucleotides in DNA (A, T, G, C) can be used to store virtually any information such as sounds, images, or text. While the cost for DNA synthesis and sequencing is not competitive enough yet, DNA could be a very space efficient storage solution in the future!
