5 companies · 4 sourced backers · 26 milestones on record
DNA data storage encodes digital information in biological molecules for long-term archiving. Companies are working on practical ways to write and read that information, build high-density memory chips, and connect DNA storage with traditional computing systems. Some also aim to search and compute directly on stored DNA while using little energy.
