MethodsDNA as a storage medium
Reversible DNA encapsulation in silica to produce ROS-resistant and heat-resistant synthetic DNA 'fossils'
What this contributes
Describes protective silica encapsulation of DNA and subsequent recovery.
The boundary of the evidence
Tested protection does not establish indefinite preservation.
Why it belongs here
Molecular storage deliberately encodes information into DNA or associated molecular states. Research covers writing, error correction, protection and retrieval. This is different from sequencing a natural genome, and different again from acquiring a person's memories.
