Next Generation Information Storage Technology: DNA Data Storage

Abstract

With the rapid development of computer technology and network technology, the huge amount of data generated has brought great challenges to the traditional data storage methods, so researchers began to devote themselves to finding a new generation of storage solutions. DNA storage technology is a new type of information storage technology. It refers to the technology of storing documents, pictures, video and other information with synthetic deoxynucleotide chains and reading them completely. By encoding the data into binary digital strings, and then encoding the corresponding binary digits with four bases A, T, C and G, the data can be constructed in the form of deoxynucleotide chains. Then the corresponding DNA molecules can be synthesized artificially, and the data can be stored in DNA molecules. Due to the advantages of high storage density and long storage time, DNA storage can meet the needs of big data storage, and it is possible to replace silicon-based materials as the next generation of information storage technology.
