Colloquium J. Morgenstern - Marc Antonini - 19 juin 2025 - 11h - Inria - Sophia
par Nathalie BUTEL
As part of the colloquium of the Inria Center of Université Côte d'Azur, Marc Antonini, Research Director at CNRS and leads the MediaCoding research team at the I3S laboratory in Sophia Antipolis will present on June 19, 2025, at 11:00 in the J. Morgenstern amphitheater - Kahn building « Storing Digital Data on Synthetic DNA : State of the Art on Open Challenges »
Abstract :
Recent research highlights DNA molecules as a highly promising candidate for next-generation data storage, with the theoretical capacity to store up to 215 petabytes of data per gram. Digital information can be encoded into synthetic DNA strands in vitro and stored within specialized microcapsules that ensure data stability for several centuries. Retrieval of the stored information is performed through advanced sequencing technologies.
In this presentation, we will explore the current state of the art in DNA data storage, focusing on efficient encoding of digital data into a quaternary code composed of the four DNA bases: A (Adenine), T (Thymine), C (Cytosine), and G (Guanine). We will also introduce JPEG DNA, the new and emerging standard for image compression and coding on DNA.
Furthermore, we will present a novel approach developed at the I3S laboratory for encoding digital images in synthetic DNA. This solution addresses the unique constraints of DNA storage and optimizes the trade-off between compression quality and synthesis cost, paving the way for practical and scalable DNA-based image storage.
La présentation sera faite en anglais.
