I love how you actually explain the subprocesses instead of just glossing over them and making us search elsewhere to find out!
-
This will be the pinnacle of humanity! Your videos always make me smile, thank you)👍
-
This was super interesting, enjoyed watching this a lot! Extremely well presented, thank you, Alex!
-
This was an excellent and timely overview as a coworker was just wondering about this topic and I had the perfect video to send them. Thanks Dr. Dainis and Reactions crew!

The biggest hurdle is the synthesis. Sequencing is getting exponentially better over time, but the synthesis barely evolved over the last decades. Chemistry is - unfortunately - not the answer here and we need more biochemical methods.

Imagine if we compressed the entire internet into a tiny test tube somewhere and some hacker manages to break the system by printing a swimming pool’s worth of cat pictures.
-
Well Done. I am doing some reading on this subject this weekend. Sincerely happy I watched this presentation.
-
I think there will be two competing storage solutions in the future: DNA and light storage
-
I feel like she’s trying to explain how the internet works to me in 1875, and my eyes are starting to cross trying to keep up🤣
-
Insanely good video! It's sad it has so little views...
-
These are incredible videos! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel
-
That indirectly highlights how game changing the invention of the printing press was.
-
Thanks for sharing. Any links to places we can stay on top of any developments regarding this topic?
-
Also, coding DNA would be a medical revolution!

DNA data storage seems awesome. But have other molecular data storage been explored? Nature has proven suboptimal countless times. And we do not have exactly the same requirement for data storage as life does for doing its life things (survive, replicate, fight off opponents, and so on). Granted, with DNA, life already made some tools to deal with it, and we made quite some more in the past century. But maybe something simpler could be better? I dunno.

If I could store the library of babel in my house, I can die happily.

Awesome 😎 and Good Sharing 💗🌹👌

When my Play Station gets DNA for memory, it will still not be enough
-
I have selected this topic for my seminar report and Presentaion is goinh yo happen tommorow, If i have a ppt on this toic I will be grateful for such amzaing content u provided for free......Thnaks u very much ........

DNA storage has one big limitation. It only has 1 usecase, and that is data archiving. It is physically impossible to have that system deal with fast enough reads that happen several times a day, let alone minutes or seconds. DNA will degrade very fast per read if you think about it. So for an application/program it would be a very bad idea. However, long term storage data that gets accessed maybe once in years, and loading the data in speeds isnt as high a priority, its an excellent idea
