- CONCORD platform encodes 45 689 bits into DNA
Researchers developed the CONCORD platform combining conjugation and base editing to write data directly into living cells. The system successfully encoded 45,689 bits of information, including artifacts from NASA missions.
- Field
- genetics and genomes
- What they did
- Researchers developed a system to write large amounts of data into the DNA of living bacteria by combining DNA transfer and base editing.
- Why it matters
- This allows information to be written into the genome without using chemical reagents for DNA synthesis, which simplifies the process.
