Recording analog memories in human cells

Friday, August 19, 2016 - 09:01 in Biology & Nature

MIT biological engineers have devised a way to record complex histories in the DNA of human cells, allowing them to retrieve “memories” of past events, such as inflammation, by sequencing the DNA. This analog memory storage system — the first that can record the duration and/or intensity of events in human cells — could also […]
