Imagine being able to record everything that happens to your body and store that information in your DNA. That’s what researchers at the Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology are focused on. They're developing a “DNA Tape” that will eventually be placed in stem cells of a mouse and as it ages the tape will record what each cell is doing. The tape can then be read revealing the history of individual cells.
