Cientistas armazenam mensagem de texto em bactérias
Transcrição do texto: Boffins store text message inside E. coli bacteria using electromagnetic signal – and you'll never guess what it says US scientists claim to have developed a method for storing data directly in the DNA of living bacteria cells by using a new electromagnetic technique. Although DNA – the biological source code of life – is being widely investigated as a potential digital storage medium, the vast majority of DNA-based data storage approaches rely on synthesised DNA stored outside living organisms. A group of researchers led by Harris Wang, associate professor at New York's Columbia University, say they have shown that by using electrical signals to tune biomolecules and sensors in cells, they could transfer digital data from a computer to living cells. Using a CRISPR-based DNA recorder, the team said it was able to write all possible states of a 3-bit binary data stream into living cells, which could be stacked and "barcoded" to increase memory c...
