A Survey on File Architecture in DNA Storage

DNA storage technology provides a new way to tackle the problems of massive data storage and application, due to its high density, long durability, and low maintenance cost. To face massive data storage demand, DNA storage has to overcome the problem on how to organize, access and manipulate data files, that is, the design of file system. In this paper, future DNA storage file system model and its characteristics are studied according to computer file system model. Then, the research progress of file system of DNA storage is systematically reviewed. Finally, the perspectives on research direction of future DNA storage file system are discussed.
