Miles Davis’s “Tutu” Is Stored In DNA
Researchers have made history by storing archival-quality audio recordings in DNA for the first time. Twist Bioscience—a company that specializes in DNA synthesis — announced that it worked in conjunction with Microsoft and University of Washington researchers to encode two songs in DNA: Miles Davis’ “Tutu†and Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water.†Both recordings were taken from the Montreux Jazz Festival archives. This is reportedly the first time DNA has been used for long-term archival-quality storage.
