Digital Data Successfully Merged With Biological DNA

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."

Albert Einstein


Scientists have used DNA stored audio and text on fragments of DNA and then retrieved them with near-perfect fidelity-a technique that may provide a way to handle data in the digital age. DNA could hold vastly more information than the same surface volume of a disk drive—a cup of DNA theoretically could store about 100 million hours of high-definition video.
