The storage system will have random-access readability and error correction protocols that would be required for real-world applications.
The researchers published their proof-of-concept system in anew paperin Nature Scientific Reports journal on March 21.
It took the researchers 21 hours to convert five bytes of data.
We have conviction that DNA molecules are good candidates for data storage.
But we are, at heart, computer architects.
The method for DNA data storage is similar to the way the DNA in our cells encodes genetic information.
For instance, Hello could be coded into the chemical string TCAACATGATGAGTA.
To do that, we needed to prove that this is practical from an automation perspective.
Microsoft believes that synthetic DNA could be the next big step forward in long-term data storage with ease.
Putting them together holds some really interesting possibilities for the future, said Ceze.
