Application of gene editing technology to DNA digital data storage

Abstract

While the archival digital storage industry is approaching its physical limits, demand is increasing significantly, so alternatives are emerging. The modern world is in dire need of durable, scalable and economical alternative storage media. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a promising storage medium, offers superior information durability, capacity and energy consumption, making it a promising candidate for long-term data storage. However, the design and realization of DNA digital data storage face many problems, but gene editing technology, as a technology that makes modifications to genes directly from the molecular level, provides a breakthrough in solving these problems. In this paper, I show some methods for designing DNA digital data storage based on gene editing technology. The method utilizes gene editing technology to modify DNA molecules to improve their storage capacity and stability. At the same time, this paper also introduces the application cases of gene editing technology in DNA bio storage devices and looks forward to its future development.
