creators: Euan Cochrane Daniel Chadash
abstract: Long term digital preservation can benefit from long term storage solutions. DNA data storage is a new technology that offers unique benefits to the digital preservation community. With the cost of DNA data storage rapidly decreasing Yale University Library has partnered with Twist Bioscience to investigate the benefits and feasibility of deploying DNA data storage for long term preservation. In this paper we discuss DNA data storage, outline the pilot project we have undertaken and discuss the technology and its potential future applications.
