DNA Could Become the Next Big Data Warehouse

Researchers at the European Bioinformatics Institute on Wednesday announced their success at storing data by encoding it to DNA. The system could stand the test of time -- tens of thousands of years, perhaps. This method for archiving data could make it possible to store 100 million hours of high-definition video in about a cup of DNA, and given the trend toward Big Data, that could be a major breakthrough. One gram of DNA could hold as much as information as more than a million CDs.
