Abstract in brief

  • The article discusses a new method for storing digital data directly in living cells by using an engineered CRISPR system that responds to electrical signals, allowing data to be encoded into bacterial DNA in a single step.
  • This approach encodes binary data in groups of 3 bits and can store information across multiple bacterial cell populations, achieving a capacity of up to 72 bits that remains stable over many generations.
  • The development of this electrogenetic storage framework advances the integration of digital information with biological systems, offering a way to exchange data between silicon-based devices and living organisms.

ハードディスク、CDやDVDのようなデジタルデータ保管媒体として生物の遺伝子情報DNAも使えるかもしれない。コロンビア大学のWang等が大腸菌DNA内にCRISPR技術を電気的に操作し、72ビットのデータを書き込み数世代でデータが保存出来ることを示した。Nat Chem Biol (2021). https://t.co/rLgAS3dcJb
