French company Biomemory announced a new service for creating durable data storage based on DNA molecule. Such developments have been underway for a long time, but this is the first time that their result has become available to ordinary users. The new project is aimed at a wide audience, it is a full-fledged commercial product.
The storage device can only store textual information. The client is required to write a text, then the letters will be encoded through the sequence of four nucleotides that make up DNA. The laboratory will assemble a fragment of the molecule according to the code provided, then the substance will be dried for preservation and sealed inside a steel plate. To read the message, the vault will have to be opened, the DNA rehydrated and then sequenced.
