Mitochondria live in all our cells, but unlike other organelles, mitochondria sport their own DNA—a small, circular strand with about three dozen genes.
Ever since the double helix was discovered, researchers have worked to decipher the information contained inside DNA.
CoRSIVs are sections of the genome that include chemical markers on their DNA. These markers may tell farmers things like milk output, female fertility, and disease resistance.
The scientists demonstrated that they could store a whole human genome and DNA sequences encoding the Jurassic Park theme song using this polymer.
