Abstract

Plant and animal cells (with and without nuclei) have used DNA as information engines for millennia the source code, compiler, executable and application, all rolled into one small and power efficient package. This presentation will focus on the mechanics and details of using synthetic DNA as the primary engine of storage systems: the technology to read, write and archive. The concepts of a Data Center in this context and the notion of Privacy in the DNA age will also be discussed.
