This is the future. I don't think it will look exactly like this, and I don't think it will be here any time soon, but I'm excited to see these advancements.
What Cache is doing presently is trying to do archival storage in DNA - it has a lot of potential to be cheaper, more energy efficient, and more redundant. But some of the processes still aren't there yet.
- ray__ 3y agoEven just storing family photos would require DNA sequences that are orders of magnitude larger than the human genome, so you're going to be looking at very expensive or very time consuming read/write (and certainly no instant read write at any cost–the turn around time can't be less than hours, even for small files, even with high-end HTS or nanopore approaches afaik). What is the plan for getting around this?
