In recent years, researchers have used DNA to encode everything from Operating system to me Malware. Instead of being a technical curiosity, these efforts were serious attempts to take advantage of DNA’s properties to store data for the long term. DNA can remain chemically stable for hundreds of thousands of years, and we’re unlikely to lose the technology to read it, which is something you can’t say about things like ZIP drives and MO drives.
But so far, writing data into DNA has involved converting…
