Storing Digital Binary Data in Cellular DNA Summary:
The digital universe is expanding asymptoticly, and electromagnetic storage devices are exhibiting short longevity. There's a need to move to another storage medium, and DNA offers a formidable storage medium well beyond any current limit or time constraint. Our digital universe is facing a major storage shortage. DNA storage is a disruptive technology. DNA is a molecular video/recorder and stores data for 10,000 years. A mere milligram of DNA molecule could encode the complete text of every book in the Library of Congress and have plenty of room to spare. By the year 2025, our digital universe will reach 160 zettabytes (16 X 1021 bytes). Storing Digital Binary Data into Cellular DNA systematically shows that our present digital information storage systems have short longevity and limited capacity, and the production and consumption of data is exceeding the supply. Author Rocky Termanini explains the DNA system and how it encodes vast amounts of data, then presents in a clear and comprehensive manner the emergence of DNA as a storage technology for the ever-growing stream of data being produced and consumed by our increasingly connected and AI-driven society. The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers looking to understand and stay ahead of this disruptive and game-changing technology, including researchers in computer science, biomedical engineers, geneticists, physicians, clinicians, law enforcement, and cybersecurity experts. Presents a comprehensive reference for the fascinating emerging technology of DNA storage, the first book to present this level of detail and scope of coverage of this groundbreaking field Helps readers understand key concepts of how DNA works as an information storage system, and how it can be applied as a new technology for data storage Provides readers with key technical understanding of technologies used to work with DNA data encoding, such as CRISPR, as well as emerging areas of application and ethical concern, such as Smar
