Some of the oldest information our society has access to is the genetic information of ancient species discovered in the DNA of fossil bone (up to 300,000 years old). However, DNA in solution or in our living bodies is a relatively vulnerable molecule, sensitive to light, radicals and even air (humidity). Inspired by the ancient samples we developed a chemical synthesis method for the fabrication of Synthetic
