doi:10.12211/2096-8280.2020-084

Abstract

Abstract:

With the rapid development of information technology and the Internet, human society has entered a new big data era. According to the global DataSphere by international data corporation (IDC), more than 5.9×10²² bytes of data will be created and consumed within 2020, and a 26% data growth rate will be sustained through 2024. These data have outpaced the existing storage formats' capability, including magnetic, optical and electronic media. To alleviate the growing gap between explosive data production and current storage capability, it is highly desirable to explore novel solutions for data storage. As an emerging data storage medium, DNA offers substantial advantages over conventional media, including ultra-high data storage density (theoretically 10⁶ times higher than existing technology), low energy consumption, and long lifetime (up to several hundred thousand years in theory), and has great potential applications in the future. In this review, we present the basic theory and the workflow of DNA data storage, including encode, write, store and encrypt, random access, read, and decode. We also discuss the research progress on data retention strategies, highlighting in vitro and in vivo DNA storage. In comparison with in vivo strategy, in vitro storage may have the greatest potential for applications in consideration of cost, durability, and scalability. We briefly summarize the latest research about information security and data encryption using DNA. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and emerging trends in DNA data storage. The cost of DNA synthesis and sequencing largely restricts the rapid development of DNA data storage. Further unresolved questions include efficient preservation and feasible random access. To solve the challenges, improving the efficiency of DNA data storage, storage, and reading automation and new strategies for data encryption will be important research directions for DNA data storage. It is believed that with the continuous development of synthetic biology, DNA data storage will become the most promising form for information storage in the future.
