I saw on the science instagram that Harvard scientists were able to encode a video of a horse running onto DNA that was put inside a living bacteria. Then they retrieved said video at 90% accuracy. What does this mean and how is this possible?

I’m not a professional scientist, but it probably wouldn’t be hard to encode dna in a specific binary sequence. Especially since, at least with human DNA, there is a lot of garbage genetic material in the genomethat doesn’t do anything because it’s redundant or remnants of viral DNA. Find a good stretch of that crap, splice in what you want and VOILA! Of course, it will change slightly because of mutations, but you’ll have self replicating code.
