DNA of things: DNA data storage in materials
Supervisor: Kunal Masania, k.masania@tudelft.nl
DNA storage offers substantial information density and exceptional half-life3. We devised a ‘DNA-of-things’ (DoT) storage architecture to produce materials with immutable memory. In a DoT framework, DNA molecules record the data, and these molecules are then encapsulated in nanometer silica beads, which are fused into various materials that are used to print or cast objects in any shape. Here we study the 3D printing and recovery of data to replicate some features found in dynamic storage systems.
Techniques
- DNA synthesis
- Sequencing
- Additive manufacturing
