Learn about the DNAMIC project's groundbreaking autonomous DNA microfactory designed for secure, long-term data storage in this 19-minute conference presentation. Discover how this innovative system combines autonomous, independent modules for complete DNA processing from encoding to decoding, including synthesis, amplification, library preparation, and sequencing. Explore the integration of the OLOS.swiss long-term preservation system powered by DLCM technology, which serves as the foundational building block for DNA archiving and complies with ISO 14721 (OAIS) reference model standards. Understand how the system maintains format-agnostic file preservation while securing data integrity through checksums and metadata self-documentation. Follow the complete workflow from archival information package (AIP) processing through the microfactory supervisor, CODEC oligonucleotide sequence generation, query primer synthesis, amplification, and bidirectional sequencing algorithms that optimize time and reagent consumption. Examine the supervisor unit's role in monitoring data processing to ensure minimal deviation and enable rapid corrective actions. Gain insights into how this modular, microfactory-based automation approach, originally designed for the watchmaking industry, represents a breakthrough in DNA data storage technology and serves as a catalyst for broader community development in autonomous DNA processing systems.
