Using DNA to store data.
DNA has emerged as a compelling data storage medium due to its density, longevity, and eternal relevance compared to current memory technologies. However, the high price of synthesizing DNA remains a major bottleneck for adoption of this promising storage solution. We are pioneering new approaches to synthesizing DNA for data storage with enzymes and custom digital codecs. We are building an interdisciplinary team to build the world's most scalable information infrastructure in DNA. We seek technical experts in enzyme engineering, chemistry, hardware engineering, and information theory. We also seek business development to identify emerging markets for early use cases of our technology.
Kern Systems is developing a cold data storage platform that uses synthetic DNA to store digital data, aiming to store more data at lower cost and with longer durability than traditional storage methods.
The company uses synthetic DNA molecules, enzymes, and software to encode digital data into DNA and store it as archival DNA storage. It positions itself as a hard drive made from molecules, targeting high-density, long-lasting storage for cold archival data and offering a platform that integrates encoding/decoding processes and a hardware/software stack for DNA-based data storage.
Who it’s for: enterprises and organizations with massive archival data needs, especially those concerned with unstructured cold data and long-term durability
