‘Do-it-yourself’ data storage on DNA paves way to simple archiving system
NEWS AND VIEWS 23 October 2024 Data can be stored on DNA, but the methods involve time-consuming DNA synthesis and must be done by experts. A user-friendly approach has been developed that potentially solves these problems. An unprecedented surge in data creation has been driven by everything from smartphones and social media to e-commerce and scientific research. Today, zettabytes of data are generated annually (one zettabyte is 1021 bytes).

De novo design of high-affinity binders of bioactive helical peptides - Nature
Abstract Many peptide hormones form an alpha-helix upon binding their receptors1–4, and sensitive detection methods for them could contribute to better clinical management of disease5. De novo protein design can now generate binders with high affinity and specificity to structured proteins6,7. However, the design of interactions between proteins and short peptides with helical propensity is an unmet challenge.
Barcoding biomarkers with nanopore sequencing - Nature Nanotechnology
Nanopore sequencing combined with DNA-barcoded probes enables multiplexed detection of diverse biomarkers in blood serum. Blood serum biomarkers are pivotal in diagnosing diseases, monitoring treatment efficacy and predicting patient outcomes. Blood tests have traditionally focused on detecting specific proteins indicative of disease, and more recently, methods to detect microRNAs (miRNA) and small molecules linked to pathologies have been used as well1.
Not if but when nanopore protein sequencing meets single-cell proteomics - Nature Methods
The nanopore community is stepping toward a new frontier of single-molecule protein sequencing. Here, we offer our opinions on the unique potential for this emerging technology, with a focus on single-cell proteomics, and some challenges that must be overcome to realize it.
A nanopore interface for higher bandwidth DNA computing - Nature Communications
Abstract DNA has emerged as a powerful substrate for programming information processing machines at the nanoscale. Among the DNA computing primitives used today, DNA strand displacement (DSD) is arguably the most popular, with DSD-based circuit applications ranging from disease diagnostics to molecular artificial neural networks. The outputs of DSD circuits are generally read using fluorescence spectroscopy.

Molecular digital data storage using DNA
Abstract Molecular data storage is an attractive alternative for dense and durable information storage, which is sorely needed to deal with the growing gap between information production and the ability to store data. DNA is a clear example of effective archival data storage in molecular form. In this Review, we provide an overview of the process, the state of the art in this area and challenges for mainstream adoption.
Nature Microbiology Community
I joined George Church’s lab in late 2014 as a postdoc with a few different project ideas floating around in my head. Discussing them with George, most were met with a lukewarm reception, polite but not enthusiastic – not a good sign. I moped around for a bit trying to convince myself George must not know a good idea when he hears one (yeah right…).
