More DNA? You realize it's artificial right.

In the cloud retard

I depends on how we would collect it
My guess is that we are gonna find a way to convert DNA into bytes, so we could just put it in regular storages, like a flash drive or hard drive
Imagine being able to store your genes in a SSD

just stick it in the freezer

base pair sequence

By coming inside.

Just replicate it and freeze it.

Put it in some bacteria or yeast, then it'll copy itself

Send DNA to lab. Have them email you the sequence. Wala, genes on your SSD

probably just store it's information in data and synthesize it as needed
t. someone with literally zero biochem knowledge

You can store all the world's data in a kilogram of DNA. Still. Still cost thousands but so did hard drives at one point

As in the molecules? Polymerase Chain Reaction.

As in the sequences? Just send them to your preferred shitty chinese lab for sequencing, save as *.fasta

>Wala,

i think he means voila

By PCR

Get it to replicate?

We've successfully stored data in DNA of some cell and made it replicate many times without losing integrity.
DNA copy failures are mostly reactive, not random. It is performed by epigenetic signals from the host. Evolution has barely been random for over 3 billion years. It evolved out of that nonsense, which is why life accelerated seemingly for no reason.

You can go one step further in this and use redundant encoding to ensure that even if a few random segments DO mutate, the data will still be intact over considerably larger numbers of generations regardless.
Most of the foundational stuff in our genome has remained intact for most of the time life has existed on the planet. It is shared by pretty much everyone.
The one that is responsible for cellular structure (in Eukaryotes at least) is barely different despite heavily segregated evolutionary branches.

So, yes, just tell that fag to clone itself so it can stop being a virgin.

underrated post

clone it

Just stop masturbating

although DNA storage of information offers some advantages like redoundanyc, fast replication (copy) and genuine error correction I don't really understand how they would access this data easilly/efficiently.

I don't know either how they aim to cope with DNA instability over time and temperature variations.

Also, DNA replication relies on very expensive enzymes that do all the work and nucleotides (what DNA is made of), buffers etc... all of that is highly unstable over time and temperature. I don't portray customers buying sock solutions of ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP...to "refill" their computer drives. or solutions of polymerase etc...Not even mentionining growing recombinant bacteria in their computers to store the info.

quite puzzling how they would implement that, especially the interface DNA/machine. I don't see it in consumers electronics ever. maybe in mainframes/servers.

Why do you want to store genome? Protemics is where it's at.

I can only imagine this kind of technology implemented for long time storage/backup of information that is rarely accessed.

For instance you could store a backup of wikipedia in the genome of a recombinant bacteria and name it like Escherischia wikipedi, then anyone with enough material and knowledge could buy the strain , make it grow in a lab, then harvest the info it needs.

You could store videos or libraries archives, medical records, software source code, industrial patents like this, they could be preserved even in the eventuality of a worldwide cataclyzm/catastroph that would distroy all our technology. We could have banks of bacteria strains holding, replicating and preserving all our knowledge for future generations.

But DNA storage in computers? no, that doesn't add up.

proteins are even less stable than DNA. plus they don't replicate themselves.

I'm asking again. Why the fuck you want to store dna?

if you store information in DNA you have to store DNA...either in solution for short periodes before accessing it or in the genome of a bacteria or yeast for long term preservation.

that's the whole point of DNA storage, the "storage" part.

And whether you store DNA in solution or in recombinant bacteria or other species you face biological/biochemical constraint that are probably not compatible with end user usage.

Such as temperature control, pH control for solutions (even for short term preservation), or even worse for recombinant organism that you must preserve in a viable environment (temperature, medium, nutrient, contaminations, mutaitons etc....)

steganography on pornhub

I don't know what you're onto with you "proteom" buzzword but the whole biological paradigm is you that information is easily, reliably and compactly stored in DNA, which is self replicant, redundant, auto-corrected, and editable, so that this information can be used to produce proteins. (or store information in the case of DNA storage)

Proteins themselves are very fragile, unstable, hard to sequence (even harder to understand their 3d conformation), they don't replicate themselves and they are huge.

The high information density and error-correcting capabilities
That's a bad idea, especially since the bacteria can mutate and their DNA can become modified. Also, the genome of a particular bacterial species can't hold that much data. teh idea is that yous tore it in DNA crystals or other forms of sterile DNA, where the information density of DNA becomes useful.
