I feel like biology is complex, and that without proper understanding creating something on this intellectual level would be difficult. I think the concept of the invention is really interesting, and I would like to know more about how DNA would be used as storage. Something I'm also interested to know is her inspiration behind using DNA. Without a biology background, I'm curious to see what led to this discovery.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906846173868087543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-46403561595793484772017-04-11T22:18:02.807-07:002017-04-11T22:18:02.807-07:00I find this research a bit ironic and comical.

Computational power and storage is considered one of the largest bottlenecks in genetic research, and here one solution is the use of said genetics to boost computational storage. It definitely is super creative as it goes beyond the idea of mechanical storage and computation to one that is based in biology and chemistry echoing the ideas of quantum computing. I was actually reminded of a project that I read a year or two ago about a project done at Harvard where they stored a book in DNA through the transference of digital bit code to genomic code. I think the rate of storage was around ~2bits per nucleotide, and considering that a single strand contains millions-billions it offers a great opportunity to hack into nature.

I think that people often undermine the power of well-thought-out groups, and how a team that works together goes farther than an individual out to make a name for themself. I agree with Patrick's comment on the importance of collaborating across fields. It would definitely be interesting to see how implementation of this collaboration-across-fields process could enhance creative, scientific and technological advancement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922885242232758719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-45452196653286344622017-04-11T16:00:25.448-07:002017-04-11T16:00:25.448-07:00This idea fascinates me for two reasons.

Secondly, it highlights the astounding capabilities of people through collaboration. Specifically on the collaboration, it allows people from specialized fields to utilize the idea we talked about previously, collecting. I wonder how the implementation of ideas across these fields sparked new trains of thought that has helped progress the project. Either way, Dr. Strauss and her team’s work is no doubt unique and will definitely have an impact on the field. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17815961206177340819noreply@blogger.com
