DNA shows promise as a long-term information storage solution. It is stable, durable, and can store vast amounts of data in a small physical space. The document outlines how DNA can be used to store digital files by encoding the information into DNA sequences using a quaternary coding system. As an example, researchers were able to store several works by Shakespeare, scientific papers, images and audio clips in DNA. While the speed and cost of reading and writing to DNA are currently limitations, the technology is improving rapidly and DNA may become a practical large-scale storage solution within the next 5-10 years.
