The Ultra High Density Storage of Non-Biological Information in a Memory Composed of DNA Molecules

Abstract

We have designed and performed a proof-of-principle experiment that demonstrates that huge amounts of non-biological, or abiotic, information can be stored in a memory composed of DNA molecules. The preliminary experiment emphasizes on achieving a practical design motivates several fundamental questions such as the amount of information that can be stored in a DNA memory before errors are introduced, and practical and cost-effective ways of mapping abiotic data onto DNA sequences.
