DNA Storage: A Promising Large Scale Archival Storage?

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), with its high density and long durability, is a promising storage medium for long-term archival storage and has attracted much attention. Several studies have verified the feasibility of using DNA for archival storage with a small amount of data. However, the achievable storage capacity of DNA as archival storage has not been comprehensively investigated yet. Theoretically, the DNA storage density is about 1 exabyte/mm3 (109 GB/mm3). However, according to our investigation, DNA storage tube capacity based on the current synthesizing and sequencing technologies is only at hundreds of Gigabytes due to the limitation of multiple bio and technology constraints. This paper identifies and investigates the critical factors affecting the single DNA tube capacity for archival storage. Finally, we suggest several promising directions to overcome the limitations and enhance DNA storage capacity.
