  • Escherichia coli has a storage density of 10^19 bits of data per cubic centimeter.

    “Escherichia coli has a storage density of 1019 bits of data per cubic centimeter [5].”

    From DNA Data Storage. (2023) · cites this paper as [5]

  • DNA has outstanding features of long-term, high-density, and low maintenance cost for data storage.

    “with outstanding features of long-term, high-density, and low maintain cost”
  • DNA is a viable and compelling alternative to traditional storage media and has the potential to solve the world crisis of digital data explosion.

    “DNA is believed to be a viable and compelling alternative to traditional storage media and to be potential to solve the world crisis of digital data explosion”
  • Recent progress in nucleic acid synthesis and sequencing continues to reduce the cost of writing and reading DNA, foreshadowing future commercially competitive DNA-based information storage.

    “Recent progress in nucleic acid synthesis and sequencing technologies continue to reduce the cost of writing and reading DNA, foreshadowing future commercially competitive DNA-based information storage1,3–5.”
  • DNA can be used for the storage of arbitrary digital information at densities far exceeding conventional data storage technologies such as flash and tape memory, at scales well beyond the capacity of the largest existing data centers.

    “While DNA is the polymer selected by evolution for the storage and transmission of genetic information in biology, it can also be used for the storage of arbitrary digital information at densities far exceeding conventional data storage technologies such as flash and tape memory, at scales well beyond the capacity of the largest existing data centers1,2.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
