The DNA data storage

      It will make you reconsider the digital                                         future


       If you have data to archive, there are many current options available: HDDs, SSDs, CDs and DVDs to name a few. In the future, though, data storage may look considerably different, and instead involve the careful use of encoded DNA. Though the idea to use DNA for data storage isn’t new, the technology is still in its infancy. A new study sheds light on what is currently possible, and details a couple of astounding breakthroughs, not the least of which is encoding a movie in DNA.

The latest DNA data storage achievements were made in part with the gene-editing technology CRISPR — in this case, the researchers used CRISPR-Cas microbial immune system. According to the study, which was recently published in Nature, ‘When harnessed, [CRISPR-Cas] has the potential to write arbitrary information into the genome.’ This is done by adding nucleotides to a living cell over time.

The study explains that the researchers’ project ‘demonstrates that this system can capture and stably store practical amounts of real data within the genomes of populations of living cells.’ What did the researchers store? A small black-and-white movie, one that is very low resolution but easily distinguishable.

Unlike past efforts to store data in DNA, this research was successful using living rather than synthetic DNA. The data was stored via nucleotides over time, with the bacteria essentially saving bits of the introduced information in its own DNA as a sort of biological record. The researchers were then able to extract this information again from the DNA and reconstruct in into videos that were nearly identical to the original.

Dna: The Secret of Life Though we’re still a long way off from storing tomes of ancient knowledge using living cells, the breakthrough is a major one, highlighting the growing potential of this storage medium. In the past, we’ve seen researchers successfully store data like snippets of text in synthetic DNA, in one case storing more than 5-megabits worth of information.

Facebook's new tool reveals to fight phishing

Facebook's new tool reveals to fight phishing: The social network giant facebook reveals  it new  features  on  wednesday   a  security feature  that  let   you see a list of recent emails that  send to you  by  facebook. If the passsword changes email looks odd , check the email list first. The hackers often send the emails  disguised as a email from company like facebook to  trick user give him the login and password information . The technique is  known as phishing it is famous among the cybercriminals. Now ,if you receive an email that appears to be Facebook---  but donˋt recognize the   activity or  the  alert --atool its     security and  login section in settings will   tell   you itˋs  legit.  Facebook usually  sends security  emails  from  the domain  ˋˋFacebookmail.comˋˋ ...

Future of biometrics

Future of biometrics: Banking/ATM Application of biometrics has proven fortunate at significantly reducing trick at ATM and unmixed-serve kiosks. These devices use integrated ironmongery canal likely Apple’s Enclave and Qualcomm’s TrustZone to provide a easy ecosystem to keep biometric data private, making biometrics one of the most confident away to defend a mobile decision. For example, New York University Langone Medical Center uses palm biometrics to establish a patient ID for treatments. Extending this to identify an accredited driver, management user preferences like radio and seat station, and set restrictions for maximum speed or alienation restrictions is also around the proverbial quarter.
