From the first Paper Tape which was used to store data on computer, scientists have evolved a numerous method to make data storage more efficient and fast.The futureseems to have certain bacteria inside cpu’s to replace our harddisk drive to store binary data with greater data compaction.
The enthusiastic scientists of china from Chinese universityof Hongkong (CUHK) are trying to use living cells of certain bacterias to constructmore productive and eco friendly data storage devices. These CUHK is formedby a group of undergraduatesand instructors from the chinese university of hongkong. The whole steps can be summarized as encoding data on the DNA’s of the bacteria and security is proved by encrypting through bringing in control environment of site specific genetic recombination. we canalso call it as a ‘Bioencryption by recombination’ . Encoding is done using DNA bases like Adenosine, Thymine, Cytosineand Guanine to represent digits 0,1,2 and 3.If successfull implemented these can be a brand new biological cryptography system. The idea is simple.harnessing the incredible adaptability of simple organisms in the tortured enviroment to make sure that the message stored can be left undisturbed regardless of any enviromental changes.
The major advantage can be to make data extremely resistant to hacking and environmental damage,of which almost all current solutions are affected by.
Also these will improve data compaction efficiency ..
Till now scientists have successfully squeezed more than 9,31,322 GB of data on a single gram of e-coli bacteria through developing massively parallel bacterial data storage system.
