In the event of a nuclear fallout, every piece of digital and written information could all be lost. Luckily, there is a way that all of human history could be recorded and safely stored beyond the civilization’s end. And the key ingredient is inside all of us: our DNA. Leo Bear-McGuinness explains.

    Smh. Keep dreaming, DNA storage doesn't involve our own DNA, they artificially create a brand new sequence from scratch. They don't take out our DNA and modify it, the video simply describes that this new storage method uses the same sequence of code that makes up a regular DNA. We can't store anything within our own one because it's already used for protein synthesis. Lack of context and knowledge generally leads to misunderstanding which is where most arguments sparks from

And we will not need to blow out eardrums out with music every song would literally be in your head and in your genes.

    Admittedly, fast reading and writing speed and the reusablility are our primary concerns on storage systems. DNA storage maybe the ultimate data storage technique in terms of information density, longevity, and we may even can *program* the DNA filesystem with the feature of journals, integrity check, and backups like our computer filesystem. In fact, DNA has been a mean to store information since its existence, which means, what we only need is the way to operate them.

    True. But it could wait until we redevelop the means to decode it. After all, we might not want a Stone Age society to understand how to build a nuke or whatnot. Of course, by the time they develop the tech to read DNA, they may have independently developed most of our tech anyway. So maybe it is more important to preserve our art and history. But that makes me wonder if WE will discover the art and history of a long dead civilization in our DNA.

  • @Schattenmaler

    6 жыл бұрын

    there are 64 combinations for a triplett reading pattern, you could easily make it a quadruplet reading pattern for a total of 256 combinations or implement an additional base (for example something like uracil or uric acid) for 125 combinations in a triplett reading pattern. However the latter is quite complicated if you want to produce in a living organism, not as much if you are using a synthesizer (which is most likely more costly over all). The DNA-code is basically like binary, but with A,T,C,G instead of just 0 and 1..

  • @shantih19

    Schattenmaler yep, if we see it in DNA style (where A-T and G-C couples in any order could be interpreted as 0 and 1) But in RNA string every base could have a single value, so instead of having a binary string, we would have a "quaternary" string. So, for a quad-byte (8 azotate bases) we could have 4^8 (65536) values And adding Uracile we would have 5 possible states of a single base, leaving us space for 390625 (5^8) values in a single "byte" Of course, if we think in a pure theorical matter (it couldn't be easily put inside a bacteria of any sort)

  • @Schattenmaler

    @Schattenmaler

    6 жыл бұрын

    Not really sure if i get what you are saying. Do you want to diverge from the usual A-T and G-C pattern (Watson-Crick base pairing) and match every base which every other base? Like A with G or A with A? Because that will destroy the normal helical structure of the DNA (and with it the ability for dense packing and most likely structural stability). However there are multiple types of helices (e.g. the z-DNA helix) that have quite different appearances. For example in the z-Helix The connection between backbone-sugar and base are different to that of a "normal" DNA-Helix. So you could use short intervalls of z-DNA within a normal DNA-Helix to communicate additional information, but it would be complicated to pair any base with any other without huge drawback. However, I wouldn't use RNA as a storage medium, it's so much less stable than DNA. Rather try to couple Uracil with a desoxyribose and pair it with adenine. But this has the downside that T can decay into U over time in a certain chemical environment, in which case we will lose information. Also if U is implemented into DNA it will be replaced by T by the DNA-Repair machinery in vivo... so you basically have to shoot your own foot and deactivate certain DNA-repair mechanisms or do everything artificially... Sidenote: It is possible to pair Nucleotides in tripple strands (you can use peptides that mimic nucleotides for that as well) or use alternative base-pairing like Hoogsteen-base- (probably mispelled his name) pairing. The latter might be interesting (not necessarily for storing information) because it creates very stable DNA (see Telomers).

    Schattenmaler I haven't thought of that (about the unstable DNA) 😅 It was just a random theory (like my computer scientist mind formulated it) But no, I wasn't thinking about changing the bases' pairs, but about the fact that A-T or C-G are like 0s and 1s in binary

Look at the latest char in the above crnt code which is T, so choose from row 1, col T. You will get C crnt code => TC similarly now for 2 from the ternary msg, select cell of row 2 & col C crnt code => TCA for trnary 0, select cell of row 0 & col A crnt code => TCAC (result)

    Aditya Patil I agree, currently the only practical application I can see is DNA-based archives, with some index stored in a traditional, easily readable format (Which will eventually degrade, so that will be an issue). With modern technology, reading a string of DNA is both an expensive and time consuming process, not to mention it usually destroys the DNA as well, meaning it would have to be resynthesized, which is an expensive and complex process today. Maybe we will have more developed techniques in the future, but we don't know.

First off, would technology always be required to access the stored information, or is it theoretically possible to create an organism that would somehow read/express that information? If so, what form would that take? Also, as each set of three has specific coding purposes for the production of amino acids (which then become proteins), would this risk altering the ratios of certain chemicals in the body? I forget which sequence initializes reading, but could reading be blocked by having the initial and the stop serve as a period and a space, respectively (that way none of the code would actually produce amino acids)? Or would that not work for some reason?

    Unknown Gamer No that's mostly due to cell senescence, which is when the ends of your chromosomes called 'telomere' start to get shorter due to numerous cell divisions. At some point the telomeres gets so short that the cell can no longer replicate and thus dies, leading to old age and eventually death.

    The first thing I would try to write in the DNA of all organisms as starting codons (if possible because all DNA doesn't replicate accurately for 100 or 1000 of years) is "KEY= ENGLISH" in pictorial format and then add other information of maths,science, languages or whatever the topic is ,then in other organisms' DNA, which are found very often I would write grammar and rules of English language!!
