Could the entire internet fit inside a shoebox? The answer lies in the molecule of life itself. As our world generates more data than our hard drives can handle, we are rapidly approaching a global storage crisis. In this mind-bending TEDx talk, Prof. Eitan Yaakobi reveals a solution that has been perfecting itself for billions of years: DNA. Moving beyond science fiction, Prof. Yaakobi presents his lab’s breakthroughs in “DNA-Correcting Codes” – algorithms that allow us to translate digital bits into biological code with extreme reliability. He also unveils how his team is using Deep Learning (AI) to accelerate data retrieval by orders of magnitude, making DNA storage not just possible, but practical. Discover how the future of our digital history depends on the biology inside us. Watch the talk by clicking the link below.

“For Omer Sabary, life changed almost overnight. Days after winning top honors at Technion Pitch Night in New York City — a competition for t:hub students to pitch the next wave of Israeli startups — Iranian missiles rained down on Israel. His apartment was destroyed, his loved ones were in danger, and his world turned upside down.” Read the article below published by the American Technion Society.

Dr. Jeremy Koenig sits down with Omer Sabary to explore the fascinating world of DNA data storage. Imagine a future where all the information ever recorded – books, photos, and entire digital archives – could be stored in a tiny strand of synthetic DNA. Omer shares his journey into this groundbreaking field, breaking down complex ideas into accessible insights. From the challenges of error correction to the role of AI in optimizing data storage, this conversation uncovers the immense potential of using DNA, nature’s most efficient storage medium, to revolutionize how we preserve data for generations to come.

The second webinar of the DigNA Webinar Series titled “Introduction to Error Correction and Coding for DNA Storage” was hosted by Eitan Yaakobi (Technion & DiDAX project) and Thomas Heinis (Imperial College & NEO und DNAMIC projects) on February 27th, 2025.
DigNA is a portfolio of projects funded under the 2022 EIC Pathfinder Challenge: DNA-based digital data storage. The main goal of this educational seminar series is to share expertise within the DigNA portfolio and share know-how useful to progress in the interdisciplinary field of DNA data storage.
DNA is emerging as a promising medium for the long-term storage of data. However, like all storage technologies, it is prone to errors during data writing, storage, and retrieval, making the use of error correction codes necessary to ensure data can be retrieved with perfect accuracy.
This webinar highlights the critical role of error correction and coding techniques in enabling reliable DNA data storage. It will explore the key challenges to maintaining data integrity in DNA storage systems. Special focus will be given to how advanced coding schemes and error correction algorithms address these issues to guarantee data accuracy. Watch the webinar via the link below.

Although the expenses associated with DNA sequencing have been rapidly decreasing, the current cost of sequencing information stands at roughly $120/GB, which is dramatically more expensive than reading from existing archival storage solutions today. In this work, we aim to reduce not only the cost but also the latency of DNA storage by initiating the study of the DNA coverage depth problem, which aims to reduce the required number of reads to retrieve information from the storage system. Under this framework, our main goal is to understand the effect of error-correcting codes and retrieval algorithms on the required sequencing coverage depth. Watch the lecture via the link below.
