Emerging applications for DNA writers and molecular recorders
Open accessAbstract
Natural life is encoded by evolvable, DNA-based memory. Recent advances in dynamic genome-engineering technologies, which we collectively refer to as in vivo DNA writing, have opened new avenues for investigating and engineering biology. This Review surveys these technological advances, outlines their prospects and emerging applications, and discusses the features and current limitations of these technologies for building various genetic circuits for processing and recording information in living cells.

In the citing paper
“Amplified material was pure and ready for re-encapsulation into silica particles, which could be re-introduced directly back into the data pool and thereby represents a complete write-store-access-read cycle that in principle may be applied larger-scale datasets, with periodic renewal of single-stranded DNA barcodes and bacterial replication of DNA data following reading25–27.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
