"DNA can store remarkable amounts of genetic information and, as Ötzi demonstrates, can do so for thousands of years." Ötzi is a man who died in the Alps five thousand years ago.

"DNA-based storage systems are a tantalizing challenge for coding theorists. We were initially drawn to the challenge of identifying the sources of errors from both writing and reading DNA, and of developing coding techniques to correct or mitigate such errors. Coding improves the reliability of ultimately fallible storage devices and the feasibility of using cheaper options. But DNA-based storage systems are new and uncharted territory for coding theorists."
