Description
With global data volume expected to reach 175 zettabytes by 2025, existing data storage systems face growing issues due to limited durability, high costs, and susceptibility to data loss. DNA, a naturally occurring biomolecule with extremely high storage density and extraordinary stability, has emerged as a promising alternative for long-term digital data preservation. Major challenges remain, including the high cost of DNA synthesis and the slow rates of encoding and data retrieval. Recent advances in DNA nanotechnology, molecular computation, nanopore sequencing, and hybrid silicon-DNA systems are helping to overcome these difficulties. Sequence-based techniques provide exceptional density, while structural DNA approaches allow for dynamic rewriting and reusability. Ongoing research and innovation indicate that DNA-based storage is becoming more feasible in terms of efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, making it a plausible contender for meeting future data preservation demands. 2026, TUBITAK.
