The researchers plan to store digital information in DNA

Ученые планируют сохранять цифровую информацию в ДНКScientists led by Karin Strauss, who works at Microsoft Research in Redmond, Washington, are going to make science fiction a reality.

She believes that it would be much better if the digital information stored in the DNA material of human genes.
In science, the notion of storing DNA, which is essentially a molecule stored information, the genome, which people passed on from generation to generation. This information is stored in DNA code. A specific sequence it give direction to create specific proteins in the body. Conversion of digital data with DNA involves the translation between the two codes. In the laboratory, for example, the title could be A ATATG.

The idea is that when conversion is performed, strings of DNA, they can order a new code, and therefore information, which contains the code. While important indicators in this storage are: durability, preservation of information in DNA in a very small space. At the same time, the digital data stored in the DNA field, provide the opportunity for future discoveries
