DNA DATA STORAGE GOOD OR BAD? Thomas Tyrrell Will Combs With the growth of the amount of data that is now being stored, the idea behind storing that data in DNA is a fascinating one. Companies, governments and universities face an enormous challenge storing the ever-growing flood of digitized information, the videos, books, movies and songs sent over the Internet. Some researchers have looked for answers in biology. In recent years, they have found ways to encode trademarks in cells and

out storage space. Self-Storage is an industry in which storage space is rented out to tenants, usually on a monthly basis. The storage space is usually in the form of a room, container or locker. Access to the space is usually secured by the tenant’s own lock and key. Clients include individuals, who usually store household goods, as well as businesses, which use the facilities for storing inventory or archives. As of 2009, there was approximately 2.3 billion square feet of rentable storage space

DNA vs. RNA Dustin D. Napier Computer Science Degree Grantham University DNA vs. RNA DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, while RNA is ribonucleic acid. DNA is a double strand and RNA is a single strand. Although DNA and RNA both carry genetic information, there are quite a few differences between them. The following information will describe the differences between DNA and RNA DNA DNA contains long-term storage of genetic information; transmission of genetic information to make other cells

DNA Worksheet REVISED Part1: Basic structure of DNA The nucleotide bases of a DNA consists of specific codes and particular strands of this codes are known as the genes. The genes codes for a particular protein which eventually be a specific trait. The pairing of the base in a DNA molecule is very specific. Adenine usually pairs with Thymine while Guanine normally pairs with Cytosine. A segment of a gene from DNA usually gives the necessary directions to build a RNA molecule and eventually translated

When the item is returned, the officer should examine the item and determine if the item is in the same condition as when it was discovered DNA Evidence * DNA evidence can have a critical role in determining a person's guilt or innocence. Many states now require permanent storage of any DNA collected at crime scenes. The chain of custody documentation for biological matter collected at a crime

Comparison chart | DNA | RNA | Definition: | A nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms | RNA, single-stranded chain of alternating phosphate and ribose units with the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil bonded to the ribose. RNA molecules are involved in protein synthesis and sometimes in the transmission of genetic information. | Job/Role: | Medium of long-term storage and transmission of genetic information

Memory Storage Memory is stored two ways according to Miller (1956): 1. Short Term Memory (STM). This is memory that is stored for a brief duration which Could consist of 0-30 seconds. 2. Long Term Memory (LTM). This is memory that can last a lifetime and is thought to Be unlimited. An example would be remembering something that happen at two years of Age and through adulthood. Memory Retrieval Memory retrieval refers to getting information out of storage. I would

Memory is how we can remember all the things that we experience in day-to-day life. Memory can be broken down into 3 basic processes; Encoding: the initial recording of information as a memory. Storage: when information is saved for future use. Retrieval: when the brain recalls information that has been saved. This process happens all within a matter of seconds. There are 3 different types of memory; sensory, short-term and long-term. Sensory memory is remembering how a place smelled or sounded
