Sounds like this will not replace hard drives. Just add a long term memory archive /backup alternative. It's denser than optical but much more difficult to read. How will all of these vials of DNA be secured? Put in haystacks?
This technology is amazing for creating incremental periodic backups! Today, tapes are used but we could also just produce one long dna string of information, clone it in little bacterias living in tiny containers and to read it, just open one container and take a bacteria out...
DNA replicates exponentially so I guess that will be the speed aspect. As for sequencing it's all about division of labour - how many small fragments can be simultaneously sequenced and then stitched back together to recreate the original information.
Ummmm what am I missing here? All this is ALREADY being stored, since the beginning of time in our DNA! You can go back 30 years (well depending on your age) RIGHT NOW in your memory.... in fact you do this all the time. Let’s use this information to figure out how it ALREADY WORKS! WE won’t know how much of that memory in our DNA is accessible till we start working on it.
@@xwmax9886 you’ve got information in your DNA going back to the beginning of time in there and you wanna put some dopey movies in it??? You get a Nobel prize for figuring out how to read what’s already in there, and your thinking about movies? LOL- what happened to scientific curiosity?
I have a doubt ,though we can store all data in DNA we need a device to synthesis all data in world to DNA which should have a huge storage right as it is one time process ?

What is nature ? I don't understand how some metaphorical thing could design such a complicated design and yet amazing design... N still some scientists are afraid to admit that there's actually a designer behind it
I'd recommend having encoded data in DNA left for later life following us in the event we become extinct along with a carbon sample to accurately date when it was made.
I'm down. This could be useful for long distance space travel. To keep moral up on a vessel people need entertainment. This can store Thousands of terabytes of data in a very, very small, and light weight package. A computer that could read the files quickly (Maybe lasers or hi resolution photography) would sell like hotcakes.
The encoding will still be forgotten, which probably defeats the purpose. It's like writing on stone tablets which last millennia, but no one can read it.
@Thunder Cat Don't think that's the point. You can get all the 1s and 0s back, but if you don't know what that means, then it's pointless. The game Red Alert was created in 1996 on a CD.

Nice thought, but I think we can tackle this by making a standard encoding worldwide. and keep using it, or ensure backward compatibility while upgrading the encoding.

@@alexcharlton9010 thank you dear , for your concern. There are also other questions , perhaps not contemplated.

So, someone in the far distant future decodes a book from DNA inside a living cell. How can he tell that the book was a product of a random process that evolved from nothing, just like the rest of the cell? ;)
Okey. The few gigabits of human dna can create a brain that can store several petabytes of data and also process it. I don't think direct encoding is the most efficient way of saving the data. We could create algorithms that could further compress data such that when it's decoded, just like growing, it reveals way much more data.
I came to learn *HOW* they actually print DNA, not just "Oh, we just write it, and they make it, and we sequence it. MAGIC!" And how the heck do you replicate it 200 trillion times without a single error? Bacteria could make the copies for you real quick, but then you just end up with tonnes of errors. Cloning? How? Also, I know it's not her field, but Pioneer plaques?? They were on Voyager. I'm not mad, Dina. I'm just disappointed.
As for replicating it 200 trillion times, she was probably talking about polymerase chain reaction, a relatively simple and inexpensive process to make copies of DNA in the lab. But I agree with you, she was kind of only repeating the same trivia over and over again... painful to listen to....
JustOneAsbesto well, it may not be your field too, but the plaque she’s talking about actually was sent with pionner. The one you’re talking about (sent with voyager) is a different one
It doesn't need to be without a single error. Digital data on hard drives include plenty of errors too. There is simply enough leeway to make it not matter. With DNA, you could store a billion copies. If you sequence just 3 of them, you'd be almost guaranteed to have the original without errors since the same error is unlikely to hit the same place twice. Kind of why you have two copies of your genes as well.
Every time I see such videos it looks like the technology is right around the corner but soon 5-10 years pass by and these technologies are no where to be seen what it stopping it to grow what can't we as human civilization have blockchain of problem that everyone can solve
6 trillion cells in human body, 3 billion base pair in each cell, every base pair contains 2 bit data. So human body contains 2*6 trillion*3 billion/8/1024/1024/1024/1024 = 4 billion TB data. Is it right?
