DNA Data Storage Alliance: Building a DNA Data Storage Ecosystem

Mon Sep 12 | 8:30am
Location:
Fremont A/B
Abstract

The industry needs a new storage medium that is more dense, durable, sustainable, and cost effective to cope with the expected future growth of archival data. DNA, nature’s data storage medium, enters this picture at a time when synthesis and sequencing technologies for advanced medical and scientific applications are enabling the manipulation of synthetic DNA in ways previously unimagined. This session will provide and overview of why DNA data storage is compelling and what the DNA Data Storage Alliance is doing to help build an interoperable DNA Data Storage ecosystem.

Learning Objectives

  • 1) Explain the DNA Data Storage Pipeline in brief
  • 2) Explain the work objectives of the DNA Data Storage Alliance, the DNA TA workstreams, and how to get involved.
  • 3) Set the stage for following talks in the Track
