    I don’t get why we research DNA as storage.

    It is sensible as fuck, deteriorates quickly, is slow to write and read…

    Only advantage it’s bio-compatibility

      The information density is insane, both volumetric and by mass.

      I sort of agree, though. With current methods it seems like it would probably be just as easy to record information in a synthetic polymer.
