DNA where data can "live" for 1000 years

Most current data storage systems will one day stop working. But can there be a long-term solution to this issue and will we have the opportunity to store information at least up to 1000 years?

In her home in Paris, Dina Zielinski, a scientist at the French National Institute, keeps a small test tube with a special DNA inside. DNA does not code for a human genome, nor any animal or virus. Instead, it stores the digital records of a museum.

"This will easily take tens of years, maybe hundreds," says Zielinski.

Over the past decade, research into how we can store digital data within DNA strands has been one of the main debates in scientific circles. Currently, scientists have encoded movies, books and entire computer systems in DNA. The Netflix platform has even used this technique to save an episode of the thriller series, "Biohackers".

For a long time, researchers from all over the world have been exploring ways to effectively store data forever. Some scientists have attempted to etch information into highly durable glass beads, a technique similar to cave drawings.

But how long can this information be stored and can we really be sure of its effectiveness? Many experts are insisting that DNA offers an extremely compact, durable and long-term form of storage that can replace many forms of digital media, which may fail at some point and require large amounts of energy.

Marke Bathe, a professor of biological engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, believes that the global threats facing humanity compel us to preserve information from every field, such as art and science, and also the DNA of all living things. on the planet.

“If life was recreated here or transferred to other planets, there would be records and data preserved. Nature has used DNA for many millennia to store information in the form of the genome. DNA is a veritable storehouse of information, to an extent unmatched by any other man-made device.”

However, the challenge is great. DNA has tremendous potential for future data storage, but many obstacles such as high costs, coding mechanisms, and the risk of mutations or errors must be overcome.
