Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of bioinformatics, and discloses a method for storing information in vivo by using DNA. The method includes: using PCR to amplify target fragments with different homology arms from a gene library with encoding information, assembling these fragments onto a plasmid vector using Gibson, transforming the plasmid vector into a microorganism for storage. The method uses DNA to encode the stored information in vivo, can successfully assemble different DNA fragments for encoding information by Gibson assembly on the carrier, and realize storage of digital information in vivo, and has advantages of low cost, easy storage and long storage time. In addition, because the information to be stored is cloned into the plasmid through Gibson assembly, the plasmid can bestably inherited in the presence of resistance, so that the information will not be lost, can be stably stored in a cell, and can be extracted when needed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of bioinformatics, and in particular relates to a method for storing information in vivo by using DNA. Background technique [0002] As the name implies, digital information is the digitalization of information. It is not a carrier of paper or other forms, but a high-tech information means that is composed of digital codes and uses Internet or other transmission channels as carriers. In 2016, humans generated a total of 16.1 trillion gigabytes of digital information; by 2025, this number is expected to increase more than tenfold. At present, the places where data are placed are mainly external hard disks and cloud server rooms, but most of them are not perfect solutions. Because they take up a lot of space and need to be upgraded every ten years or so. [0003] Compared with traditional electronic media, DNA has the characteristics of large capacity, small size, encoding, stable properties, long life and easy storag...
