Current Topics RESEARCH ADVANCES DNA Data Density: 70 Billion Books in 55,000 Oligos!

摘要

DNA provides a capacious medium for storing digital information at densities much higher than those being used in the computer industry, according to George Church and Sriam Kosuri of Harvard Medical School and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, both in Boston, Mass., and their collaborators at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md.
