"cost effective, no synthesizing DNA 1 letter at a time... gram of DNA stores up to 215 PB data, for millennia... data readout traightforward/ fast using DNA sequencing machines... “paper”: long standardized template pieces of single-stranded DNA... “type: 100's short single-stranded DNA “bricks,” each 24 bases long, with sequence designed to bind to specific region along DNA template... methylation bricks encoded 0 or 1... placed in solution, bricks quickly found/ connected to their sequences on template"
