All the Data on Earth Can Fit in a Cup of DNA in MIT's Jurassic Park Project
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule of life. While there are other essential molecules for life as we know it, DNA holds a special significance...
However, they’ve encountered challenges in manipulating DNA and preserving it over time without degradation, making it difficult to recover stored information in perfect condition. In Michael Crichton’s science fiction novel Jurassic Park, the premise is that dinosaur DNA can remain in good condition for millions of years inside an amber crystal. To demonstrate how their innovation works, the researchers encoded the main theme of the Jurassic Park movie soundtrack and a complete human genome into DNA within their polymer, successfully recovering it without damage.
