Information storage in bacterial DNA by Dr. Nanochick at 4:29 am EST, Jan 6, 2003 |
] "For very long-term storage and retrieval, encode ] information as artificial DNA strands and insert into ] living hosts. As vectors, bacteria, even some bugs and ] weeds, might be good for hundreds of millions of years. " This is the saddest, most uninformative abstract I have ever seen in my life. Anyway, thought the subject was pretty neat, so I figured I would meme it. I am sure NewScientist will summarize it in a few days. |

Well, this certainly sounds interesting if you can find better information. Maybe there are secret messages encoded in our DNA already! :) |
