CacheDNA
I’m not particularly bullish on DNA data storage. Storing data in synthetic DNA sequences is a fun idea, and there are some interesting niche applications. But as a general purpose method for storing data I can’t really see it until the cost of reading DNA drops to zero.
But innovating around storing DNA. That sounds interesting!
This is what CacheDNA are working on, ensilicating DNA to store it, rather than sticking it in a freezer.
A poster describes their approach pretty well:
Their latest study seems fairly limited (10s of samples) so I assume there’s much validation work to be done. But it seems to work reasonably well.
