An international team of molecular biologists, computer scientists and physicists has found a way to encode useable digital data onto DNA strands 350 times faster than current approaches. In their study, published in the journal Nature, the group used epigenetic modification of DNA to create their speedy data storage medium. They believe their process could open new avenues of research toward the development of real-world data storage using biomolecular systems.
