This week, Carolina & Clara discuss the development of a novel technology- storing data in DNA. As the human population is producing an expontentially growing amount of data every day, it is easy to forget that all of this data also needs to be stored in a physical form. Currently, digital data is largely stored in exabyte centres, large warehouses that require millions of dollars and tons of electricity to maintain. Novel solutions relying on organic materials and biological technologies are therefore necessary for a sustainable approach to data storage. One growing method that is becoming increasingly possible is storing digital binary data in DNA, which is a natural data store that utilises its own unique genetic code. In this episode, we explore the possibility of DNA data storage, the limitations and challenges that need to be overcome, and the future of data.
