MIT researchers have developed a glassy, amber-like polymer that can be used for long-term storage of DNA.
The material can store DNA at room temperature while protecting the molecules from damage caused by heat or water.
DNA offers a way to store massive amounts of information at very high density.
Using these polymers, the researchers showed that they could encapsulate DNA of varying length, from tens of nucleotides up to an entire human genome.
They were able to store DNA encoding the Emancipation Proclamation and the MIT logo.
Cache DNA, a company started by Banal and Bathe , is now working on further developing DNA storage technology.
