With the rise of artificial intelligence, massive amounts of data and diverse computing methods are pouring in, and traditional technologies are facing unprecedented challenges. DNA storage and computing, as a cross-border integration of BT (biotechnology) and IT (information technology), is leading a revolution in storage computing. DNA storage has become a potential solution for future data storage due to its high storage density and good long-term stability. DNA computing, on the other hand, has great potential for solving complex computational problems due to its powerful parallel processing capabilities.
However, DNA storage and computing are not always easy. How can DNA technology be efficiently integrated with existing computer systems? How to reduce the cost of storage and reading while ensuring the accuracy of information? These are the problems that need to be solved urgently in current research. In addition, how to overcome the technical bottleneck and promote the commercialization process of DNA storage technology is also a major challenge in front of us.
This forum focuses on the latest progress and trends in DNA storage and biocomputing, covering hot topics such as DNA storage principles and technology chains, practical applications, DNA molecular algorithm and integrated circuit fusion, and the application of framework nucleic acids in biosensing. It is expected that this science and technology event will stimulate the collision of wisdom, light up the future of DNA storage and biocomputing, and provide new ideas and solutions to solve data storage and computing problems.

Title: Information Efficiency and DNA Sequencing
Abstract: The sequencing of nucleic acid molecules, represented by DNA, is essentially a chemometry problem, that is, how to detect specific nucleic acid species and how they are arranged. If we consider the need to explore the spatial distribution of different nucleic acid molecules (e.g., messenger RNA) in organisms, it is a chemometric problem that combines the needs of multi-dimensional detection. Considering the special nature of nucleic acid molecules, i.e., their sequences can be specifically recognized and replicated, we can further refine this chemical measurement problem into an information acquisition problem. So, how do you get as much information as possible with the least amount of effort (the least number of chemical reaction steps)? I'm going to discuss some of our thoughts on this issue.
