BabblED
The University of Edinburgh Undergraduate iGEM Team 2016 presents:
The next generation of information storage
By 2040, we will run out of the materials needed to store digital data.
If this happens, there will be no capacity for Twitter, Facebook or iGEM to function online. Last year, data centres worldwide used more electricity than the entire United Kingdom. By 2020, it will cost more than $13.7 billion to power data centres per year.
We have a solution.
DNA Text Encoding
Density
Longevity
Affordability
Modularity
DNA has 1000 times greater storage density than flash memory
DNA can last for thousands of years without consuming resources; modern hard drives can only last 50
All our encoding programmes are open source and initial synthesis of the lexicon is done for you providing significant cost reductions on existing methods
Assembly of our BabbleBricks is unrestricted and completely customisable
Abstract
Our team has produced a cheap and accessible modular system for encoding text into DNA. We have created a DNA lexicon of basic English, where each word is stored as a sequence in a standard PhytoBrick. In order to create a sentence, each word is excised from its PhytoBrick and assembled together through a rapid unidirectional assembly protocol to create a new standard for text encoding DNA: the BabbleBrick.
Medal Criteria
We've created a wiki page dedicated to outlining how we fulfilled each of the gold medal requirements.
