The process of DNA data storage involves several steps:
Encoding: Digital data is translated into the nucleotide sequences of DNA. Algorithms are used to convert binary data (0s and 1s) into sequences of the four DNA bases (A, T, C, G). Synthesis: The encoded DNA sequences are then synthesized into physical DNA strands using chemical processes. Storage: The synthesized DNA can be stored in a variety of conditions, typically in a dry state, to ensure long-term stability. Retrieval: When the data needs to be accessed, the DNA is sequenced, and the nucleotide sequences are decoded back into binary data.
