Abstract

Abstract: Traditional storage methods have limitations and concerns regarding capacity, decay, and sustainability. These drawbacks can be mitigated by developing long‐term digital information storage systems using deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which are often referred to as DNA‐based data storage. These advanced technologies for storing big data are emulated by DNA synthesis, DNA sequencing, and encoding and decoding algorithms that can pack information into DNA, extreme durability, environmental sustainability, energy conservation, and eternal relevance, and at higher density than the conventional systems. This field has arisen to become a hot topic for researchers in the past decade, with significant breakthroughs in its course. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in in vivo DNA digital storage and in vitro DNA digital storage with novel modalities, preservation techniques, applications, and practical and technical issues. Also summarize the field of in vivo molecular writing mode that records and stores data within cells' genomes, which lie at the growing intersection of biocomputing and biotechnology. Abstract : The field of storing information in organic matters has recently emerged as a novel class of potential future data storage medium. In this review, mainly aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of future data storage applications. Recent advances have witnessed an extensive significant breakthrough in the field, which enable startups to capitalize and bring DNA data storage into daily life via alliance of multidisciplinary research.
