Researchers working to test the potential and limits of DNA storage have used CRISPR to insert an animated image or GIF into the genomes of live E. coli bacteria. They converted each individual pixel ...

Scientists recently used the gene editing technique known as Crispr to implant DNA encoded with an animated image of a galloping horse into live bacteria. The experiment — detailed in today’s issue of ...

The reason for the research is because DNA data storage is set to become a big deal. This is driven, in part, by major corporations seeking data storage solutions that have greater capacity, avoid ...

DNA encodes what is arguably the most important data in existence: the instructions for life. But researchers recently found a way to store something way cooler in our genetic code. On Wednesday, ...

Imagine being able to store your digital files, such as photographs and movies, directly into living cells. Sounds crazy? This is exactly what a team of biologists in Harvard is trying to accomplish ...

In a new study published in Nature, a group of scientists at Harvard have successfully stored a GIF— yes, like a moving meme — into live bacteria (E. coli to be specific). It’s a weird idea, but ...

Scientists have inserted a GIF into the DNA of living bacteria, bringing us one step closer to one day embedding information in our own skin. If you purchase a product or register for an account ...

Scientists have inserted a GIF into the DNA of living bacteria, bringing us one step closer to one day embedding information in our own skin. The technique takes advantage of the gene-editing system ...
