DNA digital data storage

DNA digital data storage is the process of encoding and decoding binary data to and from synthesized strands of DNA.^[1]^[2]

While DNA as a storage medium has enormous potential because of its high storage density, its practical use is currently severely limited because of its high cost and very slow read and write times.^[3]

In June 2019, scientists reported that all 16 GB of text from the English Wikipedia had been encoded into synthetic DNA.^[4] In 2021, scientists reported that a custom DNA data writer had been developed that was capable of writing data into DNA at 1 Mbps.^[5]
