Method and system for storing information using dna

Abstract

Provided are a method and system for storing information using DNA. The method comprises: 1) obtaining a DNA fragment attribute library, wherein the DNA fragment attribute library comprises a plurality of DNA molecules, and comprises a retrieval table of storage object attributes and the DNA molecules, and each DNA molecule comprises double-stranded DNA, which represents the storage object attribute, and a single-stranded sticky end for connection; 2) on the basis of the retrieval table, encoding information to be stored, so that same is directly mapped to a corresponding DNA molecule in the DNA fragment attribute library; 3) acquiring corresponding DNA fragments from the DNA fragment attribute library, and connecting same, so as to obtain a connected DNA molecule; and 4) storing the connected DNA molecule. The method and system can be extended to different data types and different application scenarios, and prevent an oligonucleotide sequence from being repeatedly synthesized during storage, thereby greatly reducing storage cost.
