Making DNA storage a
practical reality
Overview
Quick access to data stored on DNA. Management and security of DNA databases. Example of national archive storage. Applications of DNA storage.
Dominique LAVENIER, DR CNRS
The aim of the project is to work with institutional partners to make DNA storage a practical reality.
This project will explore cold storage in DNA of data from institutional partners responsible for legal deposits for multimedia (Institut National de l’Audiovisuel, INA), source codes (Software Heritage) or legal texts (European Parliament).
Complete cycles of writing and retrieving national archives in DNA will be carried out in order to estimate the durability of DNA as a means of long-term storage
Keywords : cold storage, archiving, data processing, legal deposit.
Missions
Our researches
Build demonstrators
Integrate advances from other projects in the research program to build prototypes that enable real data to be written into DNA.
Securing DNA databases
Identify threats and modes of attack on DNA databases. Chemically mark databases to ensure their origin and guarantee their integrity.
Organizing and accessing data stored in DNA
Accelerate access to data stored in DNA molecules through new biotechnological protocols.
Cold storage of institutional archives
Collaborate with several institutions to validate the cold storage of national DNA archives under real-world conditions over a period of several centuries.
Consortium
CNRS, IMT Atlantique, Inria, Université Claude Bernard de Lyon, Université Côte d’Azur
Build DNA storage demonstrators
Develop new tools to manage and secure DNA databases
Facilitate access to information stored in molecules
Provide institutional archives with a concrete vision of the challenges and opportunities associated with DNA data storage
A community of 10 researchers and research professors, 6 post-doctoral fellows and 7 doctoral students proposed for the duration of the PEPR, as well as the creation of an engineering position and a junior chair.
