DNA can be used as a data storage medium due to its very high data storage capacity. A single gram of DNA is capable of storing 215 petabytes of data, which is far more compact than current magnetic tape or hard drive storage systems. DNA data storage works by encoding digital data into the base sequence of DNA. While DNA offers incredible storage density and longevity, the technology currently has limitations such as error rates, slow retrieval speeds, high production costs, and the risk of mutations during storage.

5. The DNA storage system
consist of DNA
synthesizer that encodes
the data to be stored in
DNA ,a storage container
with compartments that
store pools of DNA and
DNA sequence that reads
DNA sequences and convert
them back into digital
data.

7. • High data storage density
• Withstand extreme environmental conditions
• We can store 215 petabytes in one gramof DNA.
• Secure as invisible to human eye
• Stores digital files without electricity for thousands of years.

8. Problems
• Many types of errors are
associated with the current
machines dealing with DNA.
• Low speed.
• Veryhigh cost of production.
• Mutations in DNA
• Theretrieval process is slower than that of a
personal computers.
