The world is evolving fast and steadily and so is technology. Over the years, with this evolving world, the use of digital tools has grown in a massive way. Due to this constant and ever-growing use of digital tools, there has been an immense amount of data created. With the booming economy and rising industries, the data centers in the future will be filled in loads. To avoid the gush of data, the use of DNA Storage has been widely discussed.
DNA Storage is the technology that encodes and decodes binary data and stores this information in a synthesized energy-efficient form of DNA. It is one of the most energy-efficient forms of storage. According to some studies, if stored in suitable conditions, DNA can keep the data safe for thousands of years. Besides, the data stored can be copied multiple times.
How can DNA Storage aid us in the future?
DNA Storage possesses a lot of potentials to transform the whole phenomena of Data storage. Because of its unlimited capacity, it will become one of the vital aspects of industries. According to studies, DNA can store data up to 215 million gigabytes per gram. This will help to simplify its maintenance. Furthermore, due to the restrictions of current data storage, enterprises must discard certain data in order to protect the crucial part; but, with DNA, we have the freedom to save as much data as we want.
Challenges
Although the usability and capacity of DNA storage allow for some flexibility in its use, there are a few factors that could make the procedure difficult. The whole process of encoding and decoding of data is a time taking procedure, enterprises may look for alternatives to save the time. DNA storage requires a high level of human intervention, in the age of Artificial Intelligence, this might prove to be an arduous task. Furthermore, the cost of DNA synthesis is high.
Despite all these challenges seems to be an evolving form of storage. Its durability and capacity to store data make it a hot option. With rising digitization, the industry bodies will more turn to it in the future. It won’t be long before all our data is stored in DNA.
