Institute of Technical Education & Research (Faculty of Engineering & Technology) Department of Computer Sc. & Engineering Dna Storage Device

This document discusses DNA storage devices as a new method for long-term data storage. DNA storage can preserve data for millions of years if stored in cold, dark conditions or thousands of years at room temperature. Researchers have successfully reproduced data stored in DNA between 99.99-100% accuracy. While DNA storage offers vastly longer preservation times than flash drives or hard disks, the current high costs of DNA synthesis and sequencing limit its practical applications. If costs can be reduced below $500, DNA storage could become revolutionary.
