DNA-The Next Gen Archival Storage
Everyday 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are produced all over the world. That is almost equal to 2500000000 Gbs of raw data. Quite a large number right? But this number is not stagnant. It is rapidly increasing day by day as we are developing more and more IoT systems. Soon this number is going to be so huge that traditional storage devices will seem to be very tiny. In that case we need a storage component whose storage density must be too high that we can fit millions and millions of GBs of data into a very tiny space. Here comes DNA to solve that problem. Screen Shot From techjury.net Deoxyribonucliec acid or simply DNA is the building block of any living organism. You may know that DNA has a double helix model which is nothing but a twisted ladder like structure consisting of 4 components named Adenine(A), Guanine(G), Thymine(T) & Cytosine(C). The two strands of DNA is called polynucleotides. These two polynucleotides are attached together w...
