Gold 'DNA Nanowires' Could Power Genetic Computers
www.seeker.com/...
"A team of scientists in Germany, including Bezu Teschome and Artur Erbe of Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, are working toward that goal. They've found a way to coat DNA-based nanowires in gold and conduct electricity. Their tiny, proof-of-concept wires could lead to DNA circuits and genetic computers that self-assemble from the molecule up."

"Now, a team of Harvard and Johns Hopkins geneticists has developed a new method of DNA encoding that makes it possible to store more digital information than ever before. We spoke with lead researcher Sriram Kosuri to learn why the future of archival data storage is in genetic code, and why his team's novel encoding scheme represents such an important step toward harnessing DNA's vast storage potential."

"Synthetic DNA libraries have been used for many years to generate multiple versions of proteins to test. Researchers can order variant libraries containing many different sequence combinations to explore the possibility of improving the binding properties of antibodies or the catalytic activities of enzymes."

So in case you've also thought, "but isn't DNA harmed by UV and other radiation?" I asked that too, it just didn't make the final cut. Twist Bioscience's answer: "[DNA] is so small you can easily encapsulate huge amounts of data in small vessels like Tungsten. For example, you could take all the information for a mars colony on a spacecraft inside a small Tungsten thimble."
Essentially, the problem we have with *our* DNA is that it's stored in cells, which aren't great at keeping radiation out. If we wanted to store DNA data for thousands of years we could 1. make lots of copies and/or 2. store it in something that keeps out radiation! Very cool.
That's huge, Imagine if we could do computations on that huge data, it will make big data look tiny
Trace Dominguez It seems interesting. What is the process? Is this capable of simultaneous read and write (is there any potential for future development of this), or is S-DNA a complex process of translating binary in order to store data only?
I would prefer the storing in crystal method. it less issues and lasts a long time
At what point will virtual reality become reality? Does this put the idea of a real Heaven, Purgatory and Hell into the realm of possibilities?
Well vr headsets are out and as far as popularity goes its failing. Heaven and hell only exist in the imagination of the believer. How do we know? But vr is the closest simulation you might get to either one

Even if humanity makes DNA the goto storage option, Apple would still sell you a 16GB phone..
rahul nargundkar lmao
most android devices sell less than 16gb
Md Amir027 that are low end phones, high end androids get more storage
well, they don't sell 16gb anymore...so, you wrong...please check apple website...
Md Amir027 please check when the comment was made
if they can turn binary data into dna, couldn't they reverse it and turn human dna into binary?
Animazing #GLADOSCONFIRMED
that would be fucking cool
Can you explain more thoroughly?
same thought occured to me while watching
yeah techinically atgc?
I've watched so many cat videos that they're already imbedded in my DNA.
My Steam library needs this kind of storage.
Hey, I really loved this new format. I liked DNews, but something was wrong, and I never understood what (and I still don´t knowing). But now, its awesome! Congrats for the idea, and keep going with science divulgation!
Cheers from a brazilian science divulgation channel as well! o/
Okay I got a bit annoyed when u changed but you're still inspiring and bring us the best news. You're still great so thank u for this amazing news
You're still Dnews to me tho haah
LukeR2002 This news is run by the government remember that
Its KrysHD
Who says that? r u kidding?
This was much more DNews-esque than their last few videos, except for the backround music.
Thanks for your support, LukeR2002!

If you encoded a cat video in DNA and then stuck it in the nucleus of a living cell, I wonder what the cell would produce when it tried to use the DNA.
fireyf it would say file cannot be opened
@@samuelberhanu7807 or it will show you Blue Screen Of Death :D
I believe it would die ma dud
That's a interesting question. Probably nothing or probably something malformed that's later destroyed the the organism. Technically you could create a deadly REAL virus and stick it into someone.
Just thinking that you could theoretically download a real virus and inject it with a syringe into somebody is just mind boggling. Opening thumb drives would then represent a real risk to humans... lol

How long would it take to search through all of those files to find one specific tweet you made back in 2013?
[ CTRL + f ] tweet 2013
This is actually a good question, because the data access is linear. It's like using magnetic tape instead of disks. You don't get random access, you have to read through everything until you find it, just like how if you wanted to skip ahead with a VHS you had to physically wind the tape forward, or "fast forward".
So it's density of data storage vs. efficiency of access.

*TRIGGERED*
Ricky D being triggered by that kind of thing is stupid
and triggering
As the saying goes "should have bought a Mac"
Aside from life itself data is the most precious thing on the planet. How many times have we been set back from data lost from war disaster ect. It would be a huge accomplishment to store all known data from an educational standpoint in the event of a disaster. I'd love to be a part of a project like that. We should crowdfund this
Life, the universe and information are the same thing. The quantum ground of the whole universe including us, is an information field. So have I heard.
Last time I was this early this channel was called DNews
i... *sighs*
What happens when that chunk of DNA gets hit by a random beam of ionizing radiation?
that'd mean the end of gigabytes of data.
Domyras well it wouldn't be out in the open it would be covered up and protected
You just make a few copies.
Once you can synthetize one such molecule, you can make it an indefinite number of times again with the same or less effort.
Domyras when he mentioned DNA I was like Nope for long term storage 500 years at best .🤔
I love the enthusiasm here, and I asked that same question!
Basically you had to check the CRC of a big chunk of the DNA (including the intended part you want to extract the information); if its wrong then the system marks that particular strand copy of DNA as corrupted [so it does not waste time using it again], and proceeds to check on 3 other DNA copies.
Even in the remote case of one of those 3 also being damaged, the other 2 should will give you the right data (as another error is statistically insignificant).
-> Then instead of having to do just "one read" of DNA, you had to do 4 [not a terrible slowdown]. Plus scheduling some re-copy and checking (just in case) whenever the machine is idle/available.
To me, this sounds very useful for archiving, much like what tape drives used to be. Tape drives were pretty slow if you wanted to grab 1 specific file from them, and almost uselessly slow if you wanted to boot from them, but for many years they stored far more data than any other drive.
You forgot about artificial intelligence! Scientists say that machines capable of replicating human brains would be insanely large. Although this technology can store information very tightly, what about data-accessibility or data-transfer rates? Will they be revolutionarily high too? Will this help in developing more complexly calculative A.I.s? I'm curious.
probably the data reading would decrease a litlle bit because of the size of dna
DNA is absolute proof of intelligent design.
Thanks! I haven't analysed it yet, but it sounds to me as if there's at least the *_possibility_* that DNA could provide a *_hexadecimal_* code; not just a binary one. This would mean that a simple machine language algorithm could provide direct translation. That would simplify the process (unless I'm mistaken, of course!) Anyway, there's certainly a lot of potential there! Rikki Tikki.
nope, not Hexadecimal, but rather Octal... Hexadecimal has 16 unique numerals... DNA has 8, and Octal has 8, so it's Octal
-Hey you got those vacation photos you took last year?
-Yeah, here you go!
*pricks finger*
Isn't the half-life of DNA around 520 years?
Depends on how it's stored.
Fran Swa so why don't we live that long :)
Because of telomere shortening with each cell division in living organisms.
Fran Swa aren't telomeres on chromosomes? and this DNA won't be dividing
Astro Fury That comment was an answer to the question why humans don't live that long.
Hey everyone at Seeker. Love your content and I always get excited when my email pops up with a new video from you. But I was wondering if you guys could do a video about how THAD Missile defense systems work, it's a current topic with S.Korea and Japan wanting the US to install them, and I've been curious at what kind of programming goes into a system like that? Keep up the awesome videos!
and yet my phone's battery can't make it through the day smh
Get off your phone, the battery will last longer *;)*
lol@deleting peoples comments
acousticpsychosis, IKR. My phone's battery lasts me about 5 days.
I still plug it in overnight, but its quite normal for my battery to still be at 95% after a full day.
Only only plug it when my phone is at 30% or less. No need to plug it if the battery is still at 70% or more.
That is beyond cool!!
who else likes that background music ?
this music is better than Dnews had.
Seeker is much better than Dnews
This idea of storing information on DNA was talk about in Orphan Black. Love that show.
And the brain is RAM
Welll, Not really. The brain is more like a processor, that has so much cache that it doesn't need RAM, The nervous system is like a computers data buses.
Nah, brain is basically SoC.
Alex S wtf
Something that came to mind in this video with making DNA storage is, could that mean that in the future that not only data could be saved on DNA, but could once living things that have now gone extinct be recreated or entirely new creatures be created?
science question: What is the Raman Effect and what is its significance?
Subzero read that as "ramen effect" sorry I'm just hungry
David Bob Hahahaha
Id love to add some frame shift mutations to alter the reading frames and perhaps some LINE1 with a weak poly(A) tale to induce some sequence shuffling to different regions to really scramble the information!
Long term = 500 years at best usingDNA as it has a half life of 531 years ( as soon as he said DNA I'm like nope -as when they talk about dinosaurs they constantly say DNA doesn't last long,
3D Holographic Crystals are a better bet for long term storage.
I'm so absolutely amazed how in the big bang mindless particles randomly bumped into each other causing a domino of chemical reactions that lead to consciousness and extremely sophisticated forms of life with the ability to comprehend the universe!
What if all of the "junk DNA" encoded in our genome is actually the code for millions of alien cat videos, left there by our alien creators for us to enjoy once we figure out how to decode them?
So DNA storage can made my old 2013 Samsung Grand neo Phone to supercomputer?
Holy crap, this means I can store my porn collection on only 25 grams? That's amazing!!
Yeah but don't use the DNA from your palms, it must be damaged ;)
I feel like the old Dnews stuff was more upbeat and exciting, which was probably largely the music compared to what you have here. The new stuff if fine, but the music feels more... serene and almost like I could sleep to it. The content is still good, but a bit more upbeat music might make it feel a bit more exciting. The presentation seems calmer and less excited too, though that may be a perception I get due to the music
What if they were to use that algorithm to read someones DNA and it actually like said something , that would be so creepy
i like how you choose macbooks and iphones to represent the be all end all of computer storage
can dna writers fit in our phone's...I don't think so
Maké Wäy Maybe not right now but it can be a scalable project
OmniS What's the difference lol
I've observed one thing, and I think I'm 99% sure its true. Its that people see the world as they see themselves. If somebody is a kind person they see everybody around them as kind people....
Just to remind you, back in 1960s IBM had a hard drive as large as a minivan that can store a whopping 5 megabytes.
The rockets used for the moon landing had the equivalent of an iPhone's storage while several hundred times bigger.
The only question - who was the brilliant processor that "programmed" us all...
Exactly.
This seeker took testube and now Dnews....
Thank you!
Maybe one day we can use this system in phones and computer for I can have unlimited porn files
THE GRUMPY DRAGON good idea
Then could this give a "photograph memory" ?
Just one more proof that god exists.
Aleksandar Jovanovic and people choose to ignore the greatest creator. They (God dont have gender) give something to humans called intelligence and wisdom, but some poeple are ignorant (lack of knowledge)
Nuclear Uranium Are you calling yourself intelligent because you believe in fairy tales?
I Don't Care Ehem... You the atheist believe something called the big bang, is not proven and evolution, not proven, God there's many man any evidence, but people choose to ignore it because of society or they believe that God you have to touch or hear to believe, oh what about your big bang or you evolution "God" Over and out
Just sad to see so many people still believe in religions nowadays.
If you've played the game République, this is nothing new, but still fascinating..
If your reading this comment then you've done at least one of 3 things
1. You scrolled to far and missed 70% of this video
2 you paused the video and have been scrolling for 30 minutes straight
3 you restarted the video 3 times already because you keep getting distracted from the video by scrolling through the comments.
Oh this only happens to me? Ok
Why does it take 30 minutes to get this far? Or are you just a slow reader?
I don't pause the video, I read the comments while watching lol

God is a Designer, so men is without excuse they can see all he has made.
but why did he Designed hair around my anus tho ?

rushy scoper literally to keep your ass warm. Hair on any animal is mainly for body temperature control.
Where did god come from? Huh?
I'm stopping myself from gasping (From this interesting information) by chugging water. *CHUG*CHUG
heck. if this doesn't shout creationism then i dont know what does
it doesnt
Slade Hilinger How does this shout creationism?
How could this ever shout creationism? All we are doing is exploiting what something that has existed for billions of years.
thats called cheating. You shot the arrow and drew the target around it.
if humans create humans in the future will you call that creationism. Then human beings will be god by its definition. Calling a human being god is just absurd.

Trace is either really excited or really cold... those things could cut glass!
I had a question of Relativity...............
Why does anything gain more and more mass while travelling at the speed of light or close to it????
My question is why can't it loose by evaporating the mass???
Or can't it do both of it??
Why only gaining??
One of the main reason why some scientist don't believe we live in a simulation is because it would require a lot of storage to simulate every single particle in the universe.
But now you're telling me we can store large amount of data in small DNA?
So if we grew a giant size brain type of storage, could we be able to store everything needed in it to create a simulation?
So there was paper, a renewable resource, great for storing data, not so much for quick sharing. Then we have silicon, CDs, USB, Solid state hard drives- all fast but consuming limited silicon and metals (unless we can start mining asteroids). BUT NOW we have DNA, which is an organic naturally occurring molecule, easy to reproduce and copy and store information on.
I thought that humans needed to go back to paper because our metals certainly won't last forever, but the prospect of DNA is one that needs attention. Imagine how much data we could store. If it could be made practical and portable, every human could record their entire life on a few DNA drives and still have room. Truly epic, but how long would it take the reader to scroll through all those strands to find my favorite video?
"Pick your favourite apocalypse I guess"
probably the best line I've ever heard in DNews XD
love the new look of Seeker.
Sure, we can read it out on a computer, but what I really want to know is what comes out when we put a computer program inside a living cell. Most of it will probably be junk, sure, but some of it, I bet, is really interesting.
I love T & A 1:32
There's also now the innovation of ATGCXY
Next question: How does humanity make the algorithm easily recoverable, and how do we signify that there is even anything significant being stored in any specific DNA sequence to anyone who doesn't know it exists in the first place? LoL
Fun speculative idea to think about: What if natural replication of DNA is a secondary process of a primary data storage system, and humanity, or some other form of intelligent life yet to exist, is the easiest way to recover, or discover the original storage algorithm of that primary information. In short: The purpose of intelligent life as just a data recovery system.
idk... to me this seems more about the storage medium more so than the algorithm. If we could convert data back and forth between organic, crystal, and chemical forms easily and as quick as a hard drive then that would be a feat in itself.
very interesting. also new setup is good.
what should I seek?
this background music is amazing
So what's better for data storage, quartz or DNA?
So what you're saying is that a tiny component in my hair is more useful than I am
do you know?
scientist created 2 new base pairs called x and y. there's a video on it by veratasium
this therotically means that we have 6 base pairs thus we can store much more data on it. if my estimate is correct,it would add up to 2.84 zetabytes
OK. Here's a question on an unrelated subject. It is well known that the Earth's magnetic field protects it from cosmic radiation. Why can't we create smaller magnetic fields around spacecraft, to protect our interplanetary travellers?
Frank Hoffman too heavy and/or expensive
Bruh
So many things are coming in the future .........DNA data storage, atomic data storage, quantum computing and quantum memory, ai, genetic engineering,
The only question I have is that .........Is this gonna create hell or heaven.
Knowing humans its usually both assuming we don't get obliterated.
well it nice that you can create dna with zetabytes of information but the question is what would be bandwidth when you accesses those data, it wont help if it would be slow as hell to write and read the information. (this is one of the main reasons why the slow old hard drives are replaced with ssd even though their much lower price per gb )
awe the weather is just lovely almost prefect
Imma sleep like a bug
This was a concept point in a video game I played. I thought it was pretty far fetched, but hearing you guys explain it. I can see how useful this could be.
What video game was that I wanna play it
plz do a video about rotating tower
hope you can still do the old querky intros you guys used to do.. also i'm kinda sad that 4years of dnews gone.. the old hosts even did vid dedications on that day.. i thought it would last long but shit happens in the real world.. and here we are.. well at least if you could do the signature quirky intros it won't feel as sad as it is.. it would still feel like the old show.. :)
thank you for explaining this information to me in a different way from the last time I read about it. you have now created A stronger connection of neurons in my neocortex in the section of DNA storage..
I wonder how do you feel about all of the emerging stories about AI replacing journalists and news reporters? do you kindly welcome the robot overlords or would you like to keep up the good work as a human news reporter? or maybe you'd like to have an AI replica of yourself that shares your personality and is indistinguishable from your biological self? many news people simply read a script but your kind(the science breed) seem to have a much deeper understanding of what you share. I think regardless everyone at d news will continue to be successful into the future. ok that's it. good bye :)
so you're telling me i could one day become a literal meme machine?
T and A are my favorite nucleotides.
I'm a biotech student and we're still learning all those replication. And that's it, replication is the basis we can do. Writing new code is the hardest thing right now. All the genes we have ever seen are already existing and we just replicate it, not writing new ones. I dont know how they going to make machinery that can write DNA code relatively quickly
Well, gotta call off of work. My brain exploded.
Very nice, so, essentially we have a singularity storage space, but with an internet connection that's similar to dial up, but the phone wire is hundreds of miles long and made of impure copper? We can store all we want, but the read/write speed is terrible. Somebody needs to get going to a neural network like the one that replicated the Bose Einstein Condensate, but get it to learn to read and write to DNA.
could you do the same thing with a duo-binary photonic circuit? Red, green, yellow, off?
Great video. Very interesting.
its interesting that many things people invent often don't appear in science fiction movies xD
Chuck Norris can save whole Internet on a floppy disk.

"snaps you definitely didn't save" - a strangely dark example.
How does this compare with encoding data into those crystal things?
Dna also has a shelf life? What exactly is synthetic dna?
I think it will be interesting to see how they will implement existing base 2 to base 4 systems
Can we encode synthetic life forms soon?
