GeneInCell ·

2025/11/30

Silicon is hitting its limits—and our data keeps exploding. In this episode, we explore DNA as a radical new archive: a medium with hyper-dense capacity and millennia-scale stability that doesn’t need power to preserve information. We unpack the workflow—encoding 1s and 0s into A, T, C, and G; writing short DNA oligos; and reading them back with sequencing plus robust error-correction.
