About DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid is possibly the most vital molecule for life as it's present in all living organisms, multicellular and single-celled. DNA's function is to store genetic information as its design allows for a massive amount of data to be stored in an efficient and extremely condensed manner. DNA is composed of two polynucleotide chains that twist to form a double helix structure with complementary nucleotides(composed of a phosphate group, deoxyribose sugar, and nitrogenous base) bound together by hydrogen bonds. DNA's properties and its unparalleled ability of efficient data storage, make it a potential data storage solution.
