In a breakthrough poised to redefine the future of data storage, a Chinese team has unveiled the world's first DNA ...

To prepare a sample, DNA is fragmented into 100–200-base-pair pieces, and then adaptors of known sequence, often poly(A) tails, are attached to the ends of DNA fragments. “We can capture that ...
