「Video of the Week」CRISPR-edited Bacteria As A Storage of Data

First video stored in its digital form in bacteria’s DNA, with the help from CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing.

DNA as a storage is not an entirely new idea. Microsoft has been exploring this field with Twist at least since 2016. They have successfully stored music (audio) performances in DNA in 2017.

Now (in the video), researchers at Harvard Medical School and the Wyss Institute are using live organisms.
