Abstract

The exponential growth of global data has outpaced the storage capacities of current technologies, necessitating innovative storage strategies. DNA, as a natural medium for preserving genetic information, has emerged as a highly promising candidate for next-generation storage medium. Storing data in DNA offers several advantages, including ultrahigh physical density and exceptional durability. Facilitated by significant advancements in various technologies, such as DNA synthesis, DNA sequencing, and DNA nanotechnology, remarkable progress has been made in the field of DNA data storage over the past decade. However, several challenges still need to be addressed to realize practical applications of DNA data storage. In this review, the processes and strategies of in vitro DNA data storage are first introduced, highlighting recent advancements. Next, a brief overview of in vivo DNA data storage is provided, with a focus on the various writing strategies developed to date. At last, the challenges encountered in each step of DNA data storage are summarized and promising techniques are discussed that hold great promise in overcoming these obstacles.
