Yet DNA data storage has to date been relegated to boutique, proof-of-concept applications like time capsules, and the cost is tremendous. But for DNA to make a difference in the storage problem, it needs to scale up, while the cost must come down. So you can see that’s pretty different than the cost of a thumb drive,” he says.
