DNA has been called an excellent medium
for archiving data, interpreting the four base
pairs as a new language.
iGEM Tec-Monterrey 2018 attempts to create
a new system, which saves information regarding
its surroundings.

Through gene induction,
bacteria could store
external information in their DNA.
Information storage in DNA has
been demonstrated by recent efforts,
saving anything
from messages to animations.
