Earth alkali salts found to stabilise synthetic DNA
Drying solid state DNA with three different inorganic salts could elevate the potential of using DNA to store data. Scientists in Switzerland and the US have shown that DNA stabilised by these salts stored 115kB of data that remained error-free even after accelerated aging.
