theconversation-com-7178		DNA 'Lite-Brite' is a promising way to archive data for decades or longer			.html	text/html	993	94	68	Will Hughes, George David Dickinson, Luca Piantanida, Boise State University Will Hughes receives funding from the National Science Foundation, the Semiconductor Research Corporation, and the State of Idaho.

We tested our digital nucleic acid memory (dNAM) by storing the statement "Data is in our DNA!\n." We described the research in a paper published in the journal Nature Communications on April 22, 2021. Digital nucleic acid memory (dNAM) uses light-emitting DNA strands to read the data optically rather than requiring sequencing. The microscope can image hundreds of thousands of the DNA pegs in a single recording, and our error-correction algorithms ensure we recover all of the data. Researchers have been developing methods of storing data in DNA for several decades.	./cache/theconversation-com-7178.html	./txt/theconversation-com-7178.txt
