Watch this 10-minute conference presentation demonstrating a groundbreaking unified approach to DNA-based data storage and computing that addresses the need for long-term storage of high-value data like historical records, health data, and scientific measurements. Learn about a novel combinatorial assembly method for writing data into DNA that differs from traditional basewise synthesis approaches. Discover how researchers developed a tree-like DNA data structure to store data in key-value format and successfully encoded The Complete Works of William Shakespeare—approximately one million words—into DNA with error rates comparable to conventional storage media. Explore the implementation of two new computing instructions, select and extract, that enable searching DNA-encoded text for exact or approximate matches to query words with perfect recall and high precision. Understand how this scalable platform offers improved cost-effectiveness and throughput compared to previous DNA storage methods while providing extensibility for more advanced computing operations. Gain insights into the technical implementation details and practical applications of this technology that bridges DNA storage and computation capabilities for resilient, secure, and computable long-term data preservation.
