In the citing paper
“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.”
From Random access DNA memory using Boolean search in an archival file storage system (2021) · cites this paper as [1]
In the citing paper
“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.”
From Random access DNA memory using Boolean search in an archival file storage system (2021) · cites this paper as [1]
In the citing paper
“First, while our file system supports theoretical storage densities that are orders of magnitude higher than archival file storage systems based on hard disk, magnetic tape, or similar archival media1,40 commonly used today, silica encapsulation of DNA file sequences lowers overall data storage density compared with bare DNA memory (Supplementary Section 6).”

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.
