dauphine it in organizations who believe. d.n.a. is especially interesting as a long term storage solution. because humans will always be interested in analyzing their own genetic material the devices that read d.n.a. a very unlikely to become obsolete. d.n.a. can also last a very long time under the right conditions samples of ancient fossils and mammoths frozen in permafrost have shown that the molecules can stay intact for thousands of years. the problem is the d.n.a. only remains stable if the bones samples have been perfectly preserved. even in the laboratory a d.n.a. molecule to case after just a few months there is in the new the solution we have is a kind of artificial fossil basically trying to create the equivalent of a bone or a bone is a piece of calcium phosphate with d.n.a. inside it and what we're working on is a small glass beads with strands of d.n.a. inside. the in austria and parked in. the d.n.a. should last up to a 1000 years preserved in glass the beads a so small they can only be seen under an electron microsc
