DNA can shave information from millions of CD

May be the genetic material DNA, an electronic device? It may seem strange, but researchers have found that it can be stored materil so I could keep millions of CD, in a space as small human finger and this material can be preserved for centuries. DNA is valid to hold large amounts of information for a long time, but can not be seen very often this information.

To maintain genetic material information is simple, just leave it in a dark, cool and dry. The process involves the conversion of information into four letters in the DNA code. Code used to create synthetic DNA strands. Then cars "reads" DNA molecules and gene encoded information.

This process takes two weeks. In a future technology can cooperate with human DNA to maintain safe material for centuries. But researchers say they do not intend to turn the storage of information in DNA, as a living thing, and that can not be turned into a human genetic machinery because of the ability that DNA to code.
