DNA data storage in electrospun and melt-electrowritten composite nucleic acid-polymer fibers.

ABSTRACT: Incorporating biomolecules as integral parts of computational systems represents a frontier challenge in bio- and nanotechnology. Using DNA to store digital data is an attractive alternative to conventional information technologies due to its high information density and long lifetime. However, developing an adequate DNA storage medium remains a significant challenge in permitting the safe archiving and retrieval of oligonucleotides. This work introduces composite nucleic acid-polymer fibers as matrix materials for digital information-bearing oligonucleotides. We devised a complete workflow for the stable storage of DNA in PEO, PVA, and PCL fibers by employing electrohydrodynamic processes to produce electrospun nanofibers with embedded oligonucleotides.
