PEARL-DNA aims to develop a high-throughput, modular DNA-based data storage platform to enhance longevity, efficiency, and integration in sustainable data management solutions.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Our data-intensive era requires innovative and sustainable data storage solutions. Current technologies have hit several sustainability limits in terms of storage capacity, energy consumption, and use of rare and toxic materials.
Current Challenges
A significant share of new data is not yet stored beyond the short term. Conventional storage media do not offer adequate longevity, data density, or cost efficiency characteristics to meet global demand.
The Potential of DNA
As nature’s data storage medium of choice, DNA offers an ideal alternative with unmatched information density and stability for millennia.
Project Overview
The PEARL-DNA multidisciplinary consortium aims to develop and assess a novel high-throughput, end-to-end PoC platform for DNA-based digital data storage built on scalable and interoperable systems for block-by-block assembled DNA.
Objectives
The consortium aims to substantially advance the state of the art in terms of:
- Throughput
- Data integrity for the mid- to long-term storage of large datasets.
Innovations
The innovative platform will enable:
- 10+ MB/s data-to-DNA writing speeds in sub-nanolitre droplet DNA assembly for the very first time.
- Elimination of the need for plastic consumables.
In addition, novel error correction, compression, and data standard modules will be developed, as well as a cutting-edge storage container system for maintenance-free, long-term preservation of DNA at room temperature.
Integration and Collaboration
The fully modular and interoperable platform will facilitate integration with other DNA-based storage solutions and accelerate the uptake of the technology.
Interdisciplinary Approach
Using DNA as a commercially viable and widely applicable data storage medium strongly relies on intertwining a wide range of technologies from multiple disciplines, such as life sciences, engineering, and information technology.
Consortium Composition
PEARL-DNA brings together three renowned research groups and three innovative SMEs to anchor the European innovation ecosystem into the global DNA-based digital data storage space.
