Abstract

Digital data has changed the use and access of information. Everyday lot of data is produced and this requires high-density storage devices which can retain values for a long time[1]. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) can be potentially used for these purposes as it is not much different from the conventional method used in a computer. DNA can be used as a robust and high-density storage device even under unfavourable conditions[2]. Theoretically, one can encode 2 bits per nucleotide in DNA which can store 455 exabytes per gram maximum data in single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)[3]. In this paper, the method described can be used to store text data in DNA by compressing, storing multiple copies along with providing security to data.
