Researchers at Microsoft and the University of Washington have set a new record for DNA storage. The pair was able to record 200 megabytes of data on the molecular strands. Once encoded, the data was smaller than the tip of a pencil.

How does storing digital data on DNA work? The data is translated from binary into the “letters” of the
