Data storage in 21^st-century suffers from information overload and digital obsolescence. Current infrastructure can handle only a fraction of the coming data deluge, which is expected to consume all the world's microchip-grade silicon by 2040. As alternatives to silicon-based devices, DNAs show great potential for data storage because they are stable, energy efficient and offer the possibility of high storage densities. DNA-based data storage is an emerging nonvolatile memory technology of potentially unprecedented density, durability, and replication efficiency. The basic system implementation steps include synthesizing DNA strings that contain user information and subsequently retrieving them via high-throughput sequencing technologies. A journal club that discusses the design of the architecture for a DNA-based data storage system would be of great benefit.
