SUMMARY:DNA for archival storage - Omer Sella\, Computer Lab

DESCRIPTION:Archival storage (sometimes cold storage) refers to data which
  is rarely accessed. Good examples are the raw footage leading to a final 
 cut of a film\, satellite images\, sensor information from large scale phy
 sical experiments etc. The state of the art is using magnetic tape and rec
 ently Archival Disc (similar to blu-ray).\nThe frontrunners for replacing 
 these media are glass and DNA. A single gram of DNA could potentially stor
 e 200 Petabytes per gram.\n\nIn this talk I'll review the state of the art
  in DNA storage\, some pros and cons and some of the open questions in the
  field.\n\nBio:\nMy name is Omer (like Homer but no "H"). I'm a handyman\,
  though I was told by a Mellanox SVP that "that's not a good thing to broa
 dcast". I'm in my 4th year of my Ph.D.\, having done two internships at MS
 R working on project Silica.\nI have an M.Sc. in mathematics and previousl
 y worked on interconnect (mainly physical layer) of Ethernet\, InfiniBand\
 , DDR4.\nI also spent some time working on LIDAR for 3d cameras at Intel.
