Abstract:
While DNA's perpetual role in biology and life science is well documented, its burgeoning digital applications are beginning to garner significant interest. As the development of novel technologies requires continuous research, product development, startup creation, and financing, this work provides an overview of each respective area and highlights current trends, challenges, and opportunities. These are supported by numerous interviews with key opinion leaders from across academia, government agencies and the commercial sector, as well as investment data analysis. Our findings illustrate the societal and economic need for technological innovation and disruption in data storage, paving the way for nature's own time-tested, advantageous, and unrivaled solution. We anticipate a significant increase in available investment capital and continuous scientific progress, creating a ripe environment on which DNA data storage-enabling startups can capitalize to bring DNA data storage into daily life.
