DNA can be effectively utilized for long-term data storage
Multiple recent studies confirm that DNA can be effectively utilized for long-term data storage, offering ultra-high density and extended durability when paired with advanced error-correction and preservation technologies.
The claim is specific, empirical, and contestable, passing Step 0. All relevant retrieved papers support the premise that DNA is a viable, high-density medium for long-term data storage, focusing on overcoming biochemical limitations, error-correction, and preservation techniques. Therefore, the balance verdict is SUPPORTED.
