DNA Memory


Stanford Team achieves 1 Bit of Rewritable DNA Memory, Aims for 1 Byte

A new paper out from Stanford University’s Dept. of Bioengineering details success in “demonstrat[ing] a Rewriteable Recombinase Addressable Data (RAD) module that reliably stores digital information within a chromosome.” [abstract]. The DNA bits use two proteins of bacteriophageal origin, an excisionase and integrase, to influence sections of DNA to point one direction or the other, [...]
