Making DNA Data Storage a Reality

Our aim is to research DNA as an archival storage medium with the ultimate goal to make it a staple of modern data centres to store archival data in the very long term.

Introduction to DNA Storage
& our Research

DNA Data Storage

DNA Data Storage, the process of storing arbitrary binary data in DNA sequences is actively  researched by us and the community. Its properties, primarily durability and  compact form factor, make it an ideal storage media for archiving data for decades. Watch the video here to see what makes DNA an ideal storage media and how it all works.

Processing Data in DNA

Once data is stored in DNA, biomolecular processes can be used to process it on an unprecedented scale. More precisely, combinatorial problems (e.g., databases joins, travelling salesperson problems and others) can be solved in DNA very fast thanks to the unprecedented level of parallelism and also very energy efficient comapred to traditional computing. Watch the video here to learn more.
