In 2013 a Team in Cambridge took digital files of Shakespeare's sonnets, a video of Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech, and Crick and Watson's original 1953 paper on the structure of DNA, and converted them into a new DNA code. They synthesized the DNA and dried it into a powder. They sent it to a lab in Germany with instructions on how to decode it. The German Team unscrambled it and translated it back into the original files with an error rate of exactly zero.
