Insert GIF in your DNA, yeah nothing is impossible..

in science •  7 years ago 

Scientists have inserted a GIF into the DNA of living bacteria, bringing us one step closer to one day embedding information in our own skin.
Scientists at Harvard Medical School have used the CRISPR/Cas system to encode an animated GIF into the DNA of living E. coli bacteria. They used Eadweard Muybridge's famous 1872 footage of a galloping horse as the source material.

So far, this method can’t handle a lot of information. The video is only 36 by 26 pixels, which isn’t a lot considering we can encode books and longer movies in synthetic DNA.

This seems really crazy and interesting, by the way guys prepare your GIFs to encode it in your cells like a movie or all your photos... :D
