Silicon had its seventy years. This is DNA's turn.

We write data with the same light that built the chip industry, into the molecule that's been running storage since before there was a planet worth storing data about.

We write DNA with the light that built the chip industry.

Photolithography uses patterned light to decide where chemistry happens. We apply it to DNA. Light selects the points where the next base attaches, across millions of strands at once.

We place the four letters of life, A, C, G, T, with the precision the chip industry spent seventy years perfecting.

Read a copy. The original stays on the disk.

The disk is what makes DNA operational. To read a record, we multiply just that record and read only the copies. The original stays on the disk as DNA, ready to be read again.

How it fits together

Write, store, then choose how to keep it. Scroll to walk through it.

Writing

This is where your data becomes DNA.

SOFTWARE

Coding logic

Translates your files or databases from 0s and 1s into a design file in DNA's four letters: A, T, C and G. It follows the OAIS data archiving standard.

HARDWARE

DNA synthesis module

Light-directed synthesis writes every base in parallel, across millions of points at once.

Illustration: a wall of light beams arrives from the top right and lands on the black squares of the disc, which light up.

Store

One write. From here the data has two lives: a permanent copy built to outlast everything, and an operational copy built to be used.

HARDWARE

Disk and capsule

The disk keeps data operational. A sealed capsule keeps the permanent copy.

SOFTWARE

Data management

Tracks every record and keeps it readable, built on the OAIS standard.

Permanent storage

Enabled by the DNA capsule. Built to keep data for centuries.
Pull a record when it is needed, read it and verify it against the source.
Retrieve
Read
Decode
PRESERVED, UNTIL NEEDED

Operational storage

Enabled by the disk. Built to be read and rewritten.
Multiply the record you need, read the copies and decode them. The original stays on the disk, so the cycle can run again.

Where DNA storage fits

We start where data has to last and build toward where it grows.

01National & Cultural Archives

National & Cultural Archives

THE NEED

Long-term storage that never needs re-copying.

HOW WE FIT

One write. DNA holds data for 10,000+ years at room temperature, and our data management follows the OAIS archiving standard.

02Scientific & Research Data
02

Scientific & Research Data

THE NEED

Large datasets that gain value over time and cost too much to keep on existing technologies.

HOW WE FIT

DNA stores far more in far less space and draws no power while it waits, so keeping every dataset becomes practical.

03Critical Infrastructure
03

Critical Infrastructure

THE NEED

Large datasets that have to survive.

HOW WE FIT

Resilient to radiation and EMP, with a sealed permanent copy that outlasts the systems around it.

04AI & Cloud Data Centers
04

AI & Cloud Data Centers

THE NEED

Large volumes of AI training data, with mandates to keep it for at least 10 years.

HOW WE FIT

Operational DNA storage sits alongside disk, tape and flash: dense, drawing no power at rest, and retrievable when a model needs the data again.
