Why isn't anyone talking about DNA as a means of future data storage?

Why isn't anyone talking about DNA as a means of future data storage?

Prove it can hold 500PB of data

I imagine because creating and sequencing it is still really expensive and the cheaper "next generation" devices like the MinION (still 1k last I checked) are pretty inaccurate.

Good luck sequencing dna, let alone adding internet connection to it

Have you tried installing Gentoo on it? Thought so.

I said "future" not "ready for immediate retail purchase"
And how the fuck do you give a hard drive an internet connection? Are you talking about servers?

I think that user meant how would it communicate with CPUs and how data could be read/etc...

>Can be easily destroyed by baking soda/alkaline stuff

>evolution only works because DNA is shit at replicating and maintaining itself

>Why isn't anyone talking about DNA as a means of future data storage?
People are.

In fact remember reading about an experiment where they programmed a piece of DNA to make a small computer program. Arithmetic I think.

>his hard drive doesn't have internet capability
Look at this faggot.

just use some ECC DNA
fucking idiot

TL;DR it's VERY slow, and prone to error. See also: mitosis, cancer, evolution

>shit at replicating and maintaining itself
You know that exact replication is actually a disadvantage in terms of reproduction? Due to a lack of mutation/evolution, if you can't change then you won't stay fit forever in survival of the fittest.

Because Jow Forums is a consumerist board. No new technology will be talked about unless it's a year or two away from being released in the consumer market, a.k.a. when it's pretty much obsolete already.

Yes, but it's a critical requirement for data storage

I didn't know that was the point you were trying to make. Carry on.

I dont know about you, but I wouldn't mind my data evolving and growing a pair of legs.

>The team heated the DNA-loaded nanoparticles at 70 °C for a week to simulate aging equivalent to 2,000 years of storage at room temperature. They then recovered the DNA and decoded the digital information without any errors in the text.

half the things you own can get fucked by a bit of acid in the right place
there's a million things that can go wrong with the 10,000 moving parts that we call cars, but they're widely used and available anyways

>heated the DNA-loaded nanoparticles at 70 °C for a week to simulate aging equivalent to 2,000 years of storage at room temperature.
>biologists logic
no wonder there has been any significant advance in bio compared to all other sciences

>go to the beach
>40c
>"I've aged 1000 years!"

put it in the microwave for 5 seconds

>being this retarded

This doesn't simulate ionizing radation only cranks the Brownian motion.
It's a dual strand polymer that looks like snot to store data chemically and it will degrade in air and radiation like any plastic.

Radiation will fuck your shit up without active chemical mechanisms to rebridge it and you'll have a bunch of fragments flying around that you will need to rearrange properly.

Imagine a HDD that just picks up surface sectors and rearranges them in totally random ways.
Rev up that ECC 'cause you're gonna need a heavy buffer.

mutation on DNA comes from replication, and it's actually a natural and 'intentional' phenomena to make sure evolution can go on
stop unnecessary replications or the mechanism that allows imperfect replications and you have a reliable storage medium

mutation from replication is a byproduct of damaged dna

did you ever attend a biology class?

She wont love you even with your most personal data inside her, user

Good luck searching and retrieving data from a 1g blob of DNA goo.

But evolution is literally the result of mutations in genes that end up being beneficial and passed on. Did you ever attend a zoology class?

DNA is botnet

>thinking this isn't already being done
Take your pills, goy. Don't forget your radiation appointment this week.

It is being talked about, in R&D

If it's WD or Seagate, make no mistake, it already does.
