The National Science Foundation awarded $375,000 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Boise State University for the project "SEMISYNBIO-III: Scalable Nucleic Acid Memory." The three-year project aims to advance DNA-based information storage through algorithms, imaging, and synthetic biology techniques. Specifically, the university will develop rotation-invariant data encoding and error correction, deep learning for image processing, and Bayes-optimal data recovery. It will also construct custom DNA nanostructures and scaffolds to increase information density in DNA structures. A time-correlated super-resolution microscopy technique will be created to seamlessly integrate super-resolution and fluorescence lifetime microscopy. Custom imaging arrays will also be designed to achieve 5 x 5 x 1 nm readout resolution. Finally, an evolution-inspired algorithm will optimize DNA sequences for storage and origami assembly. The results of this research could significantly improve the scalability and sustainability of DNA-based data storage technologies.
