"The technical achievement, reported on 12 July in Nature1, is a step towards creating cellular recording systems that are capable of encoding a series of events, says Seth Shipman, a synthetic biologist at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts."

This is really cool. I wonder what the recording density is and the kind of data degradation over time.

I keep thinking of the sci-fi novel possibilities here.

Pretty cool indeed!
Wonder what cellular events they are interested in recording, and how.
