Usage

A data storage system comprising the encoding, storage and retrieval of digital information in synthetic DNA sequences embedded in polymer fiber materials. 

Description
  • Polymer fiber-based DNA containment system for preservation of digital data.
  • Digital information-bearing synthetic oligonucleotides are preserved in polymer fibers for later on-demand retrieval.
  • The invention encodes digital data into DNA sequences, protected against errors. 
  • Read-out is performed through next-generation sequencing methods.
Advantages

Usage for medium and long-term storage of digital information. 

Non-electronic molecular ID and verification of products. 

Durable and reliable high-information density encoding/decoding scheme.
