Abstract
A method for encoding and storing text information using DNA as a storage medium, a decoding method therefor and an application thereof. The method for using DNA to store text information comprises: encoding characters into computer binary digits by means of encoding, and converting the binary digits into DNA sequences by means of transcoding; and artificially synthesizing the DNA sequences encoded with character information, positioning the characters by means of a designed ligation adapter, and assembling the DNA sequences encoded with the character information according to a pre-set order. The method for using DNA to store text information has the advantages of a small storage volume, a large storage capacity, a strong stability and low maintenance costs.
