AI Speeds Up DNA Data Reading, Bringing Practical Use Closer

Researchers at UC San Diego have developed an AI system called DNAformer that can decode data stored in DNA nearly 90 times faster than previous methods. The system uses a deep learning model to reconstruct DNA sequences, incorporating error correction and data conversion algorithms. It successfully read 100MB of data, including images, audio, and text. This breakthrough promises to accelerate the practical use of DNA data storage, offering new solutions for long-term data preservation.
