To date, there are a lot of ways to store information from cloud services to "grandfathering" methods of recording on blanks or external hard drives. However, with the development of technologies, the amount of files increases, and we need more capacious data carriers. We already talked about the fact that Twist Bioscience was able to record a song in DNA. But now the company's representatives say that they are ready to record any track in DNA in order to keep it in the format that is gaining popularity.

Recall that the startup is engaged in printing artificial strands of DNA and artificial genes. A carrier of DNA information the size of a tablet can store more data than a hard disk with a capacity of several terabytes. Twist Bioscience has already attracted 259 million dollars in investments. Now, anyone can use the services of the company, with the only proviso that it will be quite expensive. For example, in order to download your favorite song into DNA with a total of 12 megabytes, you'll have to spend about $ 100,000.
