In a previous post\/comment<\/a> I suggested that the genetic information about nowadays people and animals may be an important information to store on a long term basis.<\/p>\n In the comment I gave a rough estimation on how much computers would cost to capture DNA sequences, I did not include maintanance etc., i.e. the computation was only intended to give an faint idea about the costs. And of course one could also think about storing e.g. bones<\/a> or the easy available hair, from which the DNA can be recovered.<\/p>\n The option should be voluntarily, but easily accessible to everyone, so that diversity is maintained. it should contain extra information, like geographical and birth\/death-date and so on.<\/p>\n I put the suggestion here in a blog post in case people want to discuss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “withoutsockpuppets” artwork by artgroup: “Pump up the Wolumen” In a previous post\/comment I suggested that the genetic information about nowadays people and animals may be an important information to store on a long term basis.
