A team of researchers was able to store a copy of the United States Declaration of Independence in a single molecule to improve synthetic biology and data-storage technology.
In the ongoing quest for more efficient data storage technology, a team of scientists led by John Chaput - a pharmaceutical sciences professor at the University of California Irvine also appointed at the university's chemistry and molecular biology & biochemistry. Using a synthesized variation of DNA strands, they have made a breakthrough in the emerging field of semipermanent data storage.
The technique employed is described in the report titled "Redesigning the Genetic Polymers of Life," published in the journal Accounts of Chemical Research.
