Storing Digital Data in DNA

[Locutus]

Scientists have stored audio and text on fragments of DNA and then retrieved them with near-perfect fidelity—a technique that eventually may provide a way to handle the overwhelming data of the digital age.

The scientists encoded in DNA—the recipe of life—an audio clip of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, a photograph, a copy of Francis Crick and James Watson's famous "double helix" scientific paper on DNA from 1953 and Shakespeare's 154 sonnets. They later were able to retrieve them with 99.99% accuracy.

The experiment was reported Wednesday in the journal Nature.

That was very interesting. That double helix is repeated in plasma where they are seen from two helical bolts to fifty-six helical bolts depending on current density I think they said. These screw threads connect galaxies half spin left half spin right and they move at just under infinite speed. Imagine the information storage. Helical threads hold data together which holds the universe together.
