In the world of scientific breakthroughs DNA🧬 is arising as a game-changer for data storage.
Please keep in mind…
I’m simply a deep & critical thinker & I often; since I was Young, see things & their connections that most others don’t seem to notice at least until they are pointed out to them. I would love for actual geneticists & anthropologists, Etc. to engage with these thoughts/questions/ideas & show Me where I’m wrong if I am, but also confirm when I am on to something. Not The Gate Keepers, but real scientists who truly attempt to discover truth.
💡 Synthesis
This involves combining diverse ideas, sources, or information for a coherent conclusion. It's used in problem-solving, research, & analysis to merge different perspectives or facts into a single framework.
Now with all this genetics🧬 talk We’re about to get into… Let’s actually get a base understanding about what DNA🧬 actually is real quick…
🧬 DNA:
Aself-replicating material found in all living organisms except viruses 🦠 as the main component of chromosomes, carrying genetic information(It’s a debate in biology about if a virus 🦠 is an actual life form). It signifies the unique & “unchangeable” characteristics of a living entity.
🧬 Genomics:
An Interdisciplinary field of science focused on the structure, function, evolution, mapping, & editing of genomes.
🧬 Genome:
An organism’s complete set of DNA, including all of its genes.
🧬 Gene:
A hereditary unit transferred from parent to offspring, determining certain traits.
🧬 Strand:
One of the two linked chains of nucleotides that form the double🧬helix structure of DNA
🧬 Chromosome:
A chromosome is a tightly packed structure of DNA & proteins that contains genetic information, organized into genes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell.
Ok… so We’ll begin with something that’s cool & interesting on its surface.
I first heard Billy Carson explaining this around 2012.
The idea of storing digital data in a molecule may sound like science fiction, but it has become a reality thanks to the work of George Church, a geneticist & professor at Harvard University & one of the scientists playing Jurassic Park working to bring back the Woolly🦣Mammoth & Who knows what else He’s trying to erect.
🧬 Wyss Institute-Harvard
“The amount of stored information has dramatically increased in human history – from early cave paintings to DNA as the storage medium of the future.”

In 2011, Church discovered that DNA🧬 could not only download but also upload data & store it for tremendously long periods of time.
He took the digital file of His e-book, encoded the 1's & 0's (Binary code or the language computers 🖥️ speak in) into ATCG’s (The DNA🧬 reading format or DNA’s version of Binary code), & uploaded the file onto a strand of DNA.
He was able to download the e-book file back to a digital file from the DNA🧬 & decoded the ATCG’s into 1’s & 0’s
He then took just a gram of DNA🧬 & found he was able to store an astounding 20 Million copies of the e-book file, complete with images & text.
The potential of DNA🧬 storage has caught the attention of many, including the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
DARPA's research aims to develop a new type of storage that can store massive amounts of data in a tiny space, potentially lasting thousands of years.
DARPA Is The Department Of Defense… Or The Military’s Agency Of Making The Tech Of The Future… RIGHT NOW❗️
They have begun to dump Millions into DNA research.
However, the implications of DNA🧬 storage go beyond storing data.
So if DNA🧬 & RNA🧬 hold genetic memories that can be inherited across generations… What have You inherited❓
This suggests that the potential of DNA🧬 storage is far more significant than just digital data storage.
We will be getting into this in more detail in the next installment of this Series. So put a 📌pin in this point…
We’ll get into it for sure.
While there are challenges to overcome, such as the cost of DNA🧬 synthesis & sequencing, & the complexity of the encoding & decoding process, the potential of DNA🧬 storage is enormous & You can best believe that Massive amounts of money 💲 is being poured into it❗️
We already have CRISPR & CIRUS & other devices going from 💲3,000 down to an extremely affordable price that anyone can own even in their house or dorm room.
Mr. Church estimated that the amount of DNA🧬 in a human body can store 13.5 billion years of data, which is close to what mainstream science says is the estimated age of the universe, at least since the “big bang”… could the “Akashic Record” be contained within Us Vs. Somewhere outside of Us❓
DNA🧬 storage has enormous potential to revolutionize the world of information storage & beyond. It is a groundbreaking technology that could pave the way for a new era of information storage & retrieval. Whether it's the storage of digital data or inherited memories, the possibilities of DNA🧬 storage are endless.
So… Like I Said
YOU Are A Biological Computer
⚫️ Your Brain 🧠 is Your CPU(Central Processing Unit)
⚫️ Your skin is Your Solar⚡️Panels & We transmute food into energy(Power)
⚫️ Your DNA 🧬 is where Your Memory is held & where Your Operating Code resides(Storage & Programing)
⚫️ Your Nervous System(Circuitry)
This is really cool to think about.
However…
Just Keep In Mind.
What Computer Do You Know Of That Can’t Be HACKED⁉️
We’ll get into much more of Your Computer Programming Code in the upcoming sections.
We’ll also see Mr. Church again…
On a list
📜
Ok
So that was easy enough & interesting so far, right❓
I figured We’d start off short & sweet.

DNA’s🧬 Ancestral🔗🧬🔗Link
How Does What Our Ancestors Survived & Experienced Play A Part In Who We Are Today❓
This Involves genetic memory & genetic trauma, landscapes as mysterious as they are provocative to endeavor upon. This isn’t just about what You inherit from Your folks, the color of your eyes, or your innate affinity for music…this is about the heavy stuff, the silent whispers of Your ancestor’s experiences, fears, & survivals, encoded right into the fabric of Your DNA🧬.
