A lot of modern multi-modal bioinformatics data is in the form of n-dimensional arrays. The rest of the world calls these Tensors and has invented great formats and incredible tools for dealing with them. We really need to stop trying to reinvent this concept. https://lnkd.in/gSe-4zVA

Conference on the Convergence of Information Technology and Biology (Genomics) The integration of information and communication technologies with biology, particularly genomics, is reshaping both fields. Biology is no longer merely a new form of hardware or a vast reservoir of data for Data Science and AI. It has emerged as a field with distinct computational needs, requiring innovative adaptations in how we design and implement computing systems. Bi@TE has closely followed the transformative work of Oxford Nanopore, recognizing it as a paradigm shift comparable to the impact of AlphaFold. These advancements accelerate the generation of biological insights and empower researchers to turn raw genomic data into actionable knowledge. We have no doubt that this conference will broaden its vision of this intersection, exploring the technologies, methodologies and advances that drive innovation in the biological and computational sciences.

Researchers at the University of Southampton have used lasers to inscribe a full human genome on a 5D crystal capable of lasting billions of years. The ultra-durable crystal could help preserve DNA data for future use in restoring extinct species, though recreating complex organisms like humans isn't yet possible. Stored in Austria's Memory of Mankind archive, the crystal can hold up to 360 terabytes of data. Source: Sky News —————- I asked the AI to convert this into books. Here is the answer: To estimate the number of books that can be stored in 360 terabytes (TB), we need to consider the average size of an e-book. Assuming an average e-book size of: •⁠ ⁠1 MB (megabyte) for a text-only book •⁠ ⁠5 MB for a book with images •⁠ ⁠50 MB for an audiobook Let's use the text-only book size (1 MB) for our calculation. 360 TB = 360,000 GB (gigabytes) 1 GB = 1,000 MB 360,000 GB × 1,000 = 360,000,000 MB Now, divide the total storage capacity by the average book size: 360,000,000 MB ÷ 1 MB/book ≈ 360,000,000 books So, approximately 360 million books can be stored in 360 terabytes. To put this into perspective: •⁠ ⁠The Library of Congress contains around 39 million books. •⁠ ⁠The entire printed collection of the British Library contains around 150 million books. •⁠ ⁠360 million books are equivalent to about 6,000-7,000 times the number of books in the average public library. Keep in mind that this calculation is simplified and doesn't account for factors like book formatting, compression, and metadata.

As miraculous as DNA as the a building block for life, it's never made sense to me to try and co-opt DNA for data storage. Writing requires manufacturing oligos which is incredibly slow and complex; reading requires DNA sequencing which is also slow and complex. Both require huge amounts of energy and massive pieces of equipment. The DNA itself is fragile (samples are stored in liquid nitrogen for long term stability). Here is a review: https://lnkd.in/gKiQVWWt So the attached article is pretty fun in that it describes the opposite idea: storing a genome by etching the bits into a stable silica chip. This is the Way 😀😀😀: "Researchers have used an ultra-fast laser to inscribe the human genome in a 5D memory crystal, a storage medium designed to last billions of years. " "Our goal is to create a backup of humanity’s genetic code in case of a catastrophic event," explained Kazansky. "The 5D memory crystal’s exceptional durability ensures that this information can be preserved for billions of years, outlasting our species." "The fused silica can withstand temperatures of up to 1000°C, force up to 10 tons per cm2, and cosmic radiation."

University of Southampton scientists have stored the full human genome on a 5D memory crystal—a revolutionary data storage format that can survive for billions of years. Unlike other data storage formats that degrade over time, 5D memory crystals can store up to 360 terabytes of information (in the largest size) without loss for billions of years, even at high temperatures. It holds the Guinness World Record (awarded in 2014) for the most durable data storage material. #5dmemory #computing #datastorage #computingmemory #supermaterials #newmaterials #physics #breakthrough #scienceandtechnology #scientificresearch #futuretechnology #innovation #change #technologydevelopment #technologyinnovation #future #emergingtech #disruptivetechnologies #emergingtechnologies #memorystorage
