Over the past years, the ever-growing trend on data storage demand, more specifically for "cold" data (rarely accessed data), has motivated research for alternative systems of data storage. Because of its biochemical characteristics,…
The short lifespan of traditional data storage media, coupled with an exponential increase in storage demand, has made long-term archival a fundamental problem in the data storage industry and beyond. Consequently, researchers are looking…
DNA has immense potential as an emerging data storage medium. The principle of DNA storage is the conversion and flow of digital information between binary code stream, quaternary base, and actual DNA fragments. This process will inevitably…
Although the expenses associated with DNA sequencing have been rapidly decreasing, the current cost of sequencing information stands at roughly $120/GB, which is dramatically more expensive than reading from existing archival storage…
Technologies for sequencing (reading) and synthesizing (writing) DNA have progressed on a Moore's law-like trajectory over the last three decades. This has motivated the idea of using DNA for data storage. Theoretically, DNA-based storage…
Most living systems rely on double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) to store their genetic information and perpetuate themselves. This biological information has been considered the main target of evolution. However, here we show that symmetries and…
