DNA punch cards for storing data on native DNA sequences via enzymatic nicking
Open accessAbstract
Synthetic DNA-based data storage systems have received significant attention due to the promise of ultrahigh storage density and long-term stability. However, all known platforms suffer from high cost, read-write latency and error-rates that render them noncompetitive with modern storage devices. One means to avoid the above problems is using readily available native DNA. As the sequence content of native DNA is fixed, one can modify the topology instead to encode information. Here, we introduce DNA punch cards, a macromolecular storage mechanism in which data is written in the form of nicks at predetermined positions on the backbone of native double-stranded DNA. The platform accommodates parallel nicking on orthogonal DNA fragments and enzymatic toehold creation that enables single-bit random-access and in-memory computations. We use Pyrococcus furiosus Argonaute to punch files into the PCR products of Escherichia coli genomic DNA and accurately reconstruct the encoded data through high-throughput sequencing and read alignment.

In DNA punch cards, a pattern of nicking positions is realized on the backbone of native dsDNA, and information is encoded by absence (0) or presence (1) of nicks.
“Indeed, a pattern of nicking positions was precisely realized on the backbone of native dsDNA, and here, information was encoded by means of absence (i.e., 0) or presence (i.e., 1) of nicks.”

Tabatabaei et al.'s DNA punch cards encode information in the sequence of bases of DNA strands by using their sugar-phosphate backbone topologically.
“The use of double-stranded DNA as a storage medium was also exploited in recent work by Tabatabaei et al.72 on DNA punch cards. This macromolecular storage technology was used to encode the information in the sequence of bases of the DNA strands by using their sugar–phosphate backbone, i.e., topologically.”

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.
