Key obstacles to scaling up DNA data storage

Science Daily  June 3, 2019
To reach practical capacities, new systems for organizing and accessing information are needed. Researchers at North Carolina State University used chemical handles to selectively extract unique files from a complex database of DNA mimicking 5 TB of data and designed and implemented a nested file address system that increases the theoretical maximum capacity of DNA storage systems by five orders of magnitude. The advancements enable the development and future scaling of DNA-based data storage systems with modern capacities and file access capabilities…read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLES
