[math-fun] UW, uSoft: big breakthrough with DNA data storage
FYI -- No doubt newborns will soon be screaming to be upgraded to Windows 10... http://www.seattletimes.com/business/microsoft/uw-microsoft-claim-big-breakt... A joint team from the Redmond company and the university said Thursday that it had successfully encoded about 200 megabytes of data onto synthetic DNA molecules  nine times the previous record. Researchers from Microsoft and the University of Washington say theyÂve reached a milestone in the effort to use DNA to help store the worldÂs rapidly growing stash of digital data. A joint team from the Redmond company and the university said Thursday it had successfully encoded about 200 megabytes of data onto synthetic DNA molecules. The information, which the team later successfully decoded and read, included more than 100 books, translations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and a high-definition music video from the band OK Go. ...
