The scientists working on the DNA cassette coated the partitions with a crystal shell made from a metal-organic framework, ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new suite of statistical methods that dramatically improves the ability to pinpoint DNA changes responsible for important traits in ...

New 'cassette tape' made of DNA has the capacity to store 36 petabytes of data, which could change the future of digital ...

Humanity is generating data faster than it can be stored, and the hard drives and tape libraries that quietly underpin the cloud are already straining to keep up. As the gap widens between what we ...

This radical new method could preserve our entire knowledge base for thousands of years, in a storage medium the size of a coffee cup.

Researchers at a Harvard Medical School laboratory are uncertain how they will continue supporting a large public genetic database after its primary source of funding expired last month. The Allen ...

In context: Thanks to improvements in DNA sequencing techniques, the number of public repositories containing genetic data is growing at a significant pace. Zurich researchers have been working on a ...
