(and there is curious reflexive overlap then possibly with #AI structures themselves)
For #datastorage, the goal is somewhat different. As a durable and data-rich #biomolecule, #DNA can potentially be used to encode tremendous amounts of information…DNA Script is part of a research consortium that received $23 million from the US Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) to develop DNA-based technologies that can achieve #exabyte-scale data storage.
