Scientists have recorded a movie on the DNA of the bacteria (Topic)

Scientists from the Harvard Medical School managed to record a short movie on the DNA of a living bacterium. According to the LA Times, this is a series of famous "moving pictures" that were created by the pioneer of chronophotography Edward Muybridge in the second half of the 19th century.

"Running Horse" is one of the earliest examples of moving pictures. We thought it was the right thing to use it, "commented the head of the research group Seth Shipman. According to him, the use of DNA promises impressive prospects for information storage technologies." It is much more stable than the silicon elements that are used now, and is great if you are going to save something for thousands of years, "he added.

With this experiment, scientists wanted to confirm the ability to write and read pieces of information or files in a strictly defined sequence. And for these purposes, "moving pictures" fit perfectly. Each day, the researchers recorded one frame, and later, using a specially developed computer program, they were able to "download" the movie and play it back. As a result, it is planned to create biological recording devices.
