Hong Kong researchers store data in bacteria

Biostorage -- the art of storing and encrypting information in living organisms -- is a young field, having existed for about a decade.
In 2007, a team at Japan's Keio University said they had successfully encoded the equation that represents Einstein's theory of relativity, E=MC2, in the DNA of a common soil bacterium.They pointed out that because bacteria constantly reproduce, a group of the single-celled organisms could store a piece of information for thousands of years.

However don't rush to replace your filing cabinets with refrigerators. Researchers caution that there's more work to be done before petri dishes become our data storage units.
