Using DNA to store terabytes of data

Sunday, February 24th, 2008 | Genetics

My first post in Genetics category.Gigaom has an article(research article-hey,he didn’t research it) about using DNA to store terabytes of computer data.The core is that DNA has 2 antiparallelly running helix which are tightly bound with each other.Of course the purine and pyrimidines bases are also there only.It will use this DNA structure to tightly store terabytes of information.Currently we have information stored on transistors but with more development in this field,we would be soon using DNA to store securely terabytes of data.

[...] can it store on it. Science daily has a very good research article on it. I have earlier said how DNA can store terabytes of data . DNA is actually 2 anti parallel running helix structure having bases like pyrimidines and [...]
