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 is the same light-directed patterning process behind every semiconductor chip ever made, redirected here to build DNA base by base instead of etching circuits.

Millions of points written in parallel, the same four letters, A, C, G, T, placed with the precision the chip industry spent seventy years perfecting.

Our approach

Six systems, integrated, not six vendors bolted together. Scroll to walk through it.

SOFTWARE

Data management

Every archive is managed to the OAIS/ISO 14721 standard, the same framework the world's most demanding data custodians already hold themselves to. It's what keeps the archive readable no matter how much the technology around it changes.

SOFTWARE

Coding logic

The layer that turns a file into something DNA can carry, and back again — also built to the OAIS standard, so the encoding itself stays legible for as long as the archive does, retrievable by systems that don't exist yet.

HARDWARE

Writing

Light-directed synthesis writes every base in parallel, across millions of points at once — the same light-patterning process that built the chip industry, redirected here to build DNA instead of circuits.

SOFTWARE

Store

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

STORE SPLITS INTO TWO

Permanent storage

Enabled by the DNA capsule. Built for centuries, not sessions.

Retrieve

Pulls one record, untouched by the rest.

Read

The sequence is read straight from the capsule.

Decode

Verified against the source, every time.

PRESERVED, UNTIL NEEDED

Operational storage

Enabled by the disk. Built to be read and rewritten.

Retrieve

Fast, targeted access for active records.

Read

Read back on demand, as often as needed.

Decode

Delivered as a file, then written straight back into Store.
