Abstract

DNA is a natural molecular level storage device. Molecular storage devices use each molecule or part of it for storing a character. Thus it is possible to store information million of times than presently used storage devices. For example a JPEG image (i.e. flag of India) having file size of 1981 Bytes can be encrypted using 7924 DNA bases which occupies about 2694.16 nanometers. In other words flag of India can be encrypted 8.07x105 times in human genome which comprises 6.4x109 DNA bases and occupy a tiny volume of about 0.02 µm3. A method for storing information in DNA has been developed which includes software and a set of schemes to encrypt, store and decrypt information in terms of DNA bases. The main advantages of the present method over exiting art is that it addresses complete set of extended ASCII characters set and thereby, encryption of all kind of digital information (text, image, audio etc.). First of all, information is encrypted along with carefully designed sequences known as header and tail primers at both the ends of actual encrypted information. This encrypted sequence is then synthesized and mixed up with the enormous complex denatured DNA strands of genomic DNA of human or other organism.

Description

A METHOD FOR STORING INFORMATION IN DNA Field of the invention
The present invention relates to a method for storing information in DNA. The method of invention comprises storing information in DNA. The present invention addresses storage for all kind of digital information whether it is a text file, an image file or an audio file. Large sequences are divided into multiple segments. Background of the invention
DNA is the best molecular electronic device ever produced on the earth because DNA can store, process and provide information for growth and maintenance of living system. All living species are as a result of single cell produced during reproduction. In most of the cases this single cell does not have most of the materials required for fabricating a living system but contains all the information and processing capability to fabricate living spaces by taking materials from environment, for example, fabrication of baby from Zygote which contains rearranged DNA sequences of parents. DNA is ready to use nanowire of 2 nm and can be synthesized in any sequence of four bases i.e. ATGC. DNA of every living organism (micro/macro) consist of large number of DNA segments where each segment represents a processor to execute a particular biological process for growth and maintaining life. Other important characteristics of DNA which makes it material of choice for future molecular devices are: DNA the building block of life, can store information for billion of years, . The tremendous information storage capacity of DNA can be imagined from the fact that 1 gram of DNA contains as much information as 1 trillion CD's1' four bases (A,T,G,C) instead of 0 and 1, extremely energy efficient (1019 operations per joule), synthesis of any imaginable sequence is possible and semiconductor are approaching limit.
Clelland et al., 1999[2], and Bancroft, et al. 2001 [3] [U.S. patent no. 6,312,911], have developed the DNA based steganographic technique for sending the secret messages. Although their prime objective was steganography (the art of information hiding), they used DNA as storage an transmission device for secret message. They encrypted the plaintext message into the DNA sequences and retrieved the message using the encryption/decryption key. They used three DNA bases for representing a single alphanumeric character, as DNA has 4 bases (A, T, C, G) so a maximum of 64 (4x4x4) ASCII character can be formed using this scheme. Whereas, a total of 256 extended ASCII characters are required to represent complete set of digital information. Hence, Clelland' s scheme cannot be used to address complete set of digital information and has limited scope. Objects of the invention
The main object of the present invention is to develop a comprehensive DNA based information storage technique.
Another object of the present invention is to encrypt complete extended ASCII character set in terms of minimum number of DNA bases.
Another object of the present invention is to develop software to encrypt/decrypt data in terms DNA bases.
Yet another object of the present invention is to design suitable primers to be flanked at both ends of the encrypted and synthesized information. Summary of the invention
The present invention provides a method for storing information in DNA. The method of invention comprises storing information in DNA. The present invention addresses storage for all kind of digital information whether it is a text file, an image file or an audio file. Large sequences are divided into multiple segments Brief description of the accompanying drawings

Detailed description of the invention The present invention provides a method for storing information in DNA. The method of invention comprises storing information in DNA. The present invention addresses storage for all kind of digital information whether it is a text file, an image file or an audio file. Large sequences are divided into multiple segments
The method enables the storage of information in DNA. In another embodiment a software based on the above method enables all 256 Extended ASCII characters to be defined in terms of DNA sequences. The basic concept used is to take minimum number of bases to define each Extended ASCII character. With simple permutation we have 4 sequences combinations with one base i.e. A, T, G, C. Similarly, with 2 bases we have 4x4=16 different sequences, with three bases we get 4x4x4=64 distinct sequences and four bases give 4x4x4x4=256 distinct sequences. Therefore, with a set of 4 bases, complete extended ASCII set has been encoded. Software named as "DNASTORE" has been developed in Visual Basic 6.0 for encryption and decryption of digital information in terms of DNA bases. Using DNASTORE complete extended ASCII character set can be encoded 256 different ways. In yet another embodiment in our scheme, plain text/image or any digital information is encrypted in terms of DNA sequences using encryption key (software). If the information overflows the limits i.e. it cannot be synthesized in a single piece then it is encrypted and fragmented in a number of segments. Synthesis of encrypted sequence(s) is carried out using DNA synthesizer. In yet another embodiment a fixed number of different DNA primers sequence have been designed and assigned a number, which resembles the segment position it represents e.g. segment 1, segment 2 segment n. These are called as header primers. Two tail primers have also been designed one resembles continuation and other resembles termination segment. In yet another embodiment the DNA segment(s) is/are flanked by known PCR primers [as described earlier] at both the ends i.e. header primers are attached at the beginning of segment and tail primers are attached at the end of the segment. If there is only one segment, at the beginning it is flanked by header primer number 1 and at the end it is flanked by termination tail primer. However, if there are more than one segments, each segment would be attached with header primers numbered as 1, 2,3... n respectively, at the end these would be attached with a continuation tail primer except for last segment which would be attached with a termination tail primer.
The SM DNA is then mixed with the enormous complex denatured DNA strands of genomic DNA of human or other organism. As the human genome contains about 3x109 nucleotide pairs, fragmented & denatured human DNA provides a very complex background for storing the encrypted DNA. The DNA can be stored and transported on paper, cloths, buttons etc.
In still another embodiment only a recipient knowing the sequences of both the primers [starting and tail] would be able to extract the message, using PCR to isolate & amplify the encrypted DNA strand. Isolated and amphfied DNA can then be sequenced using automated DNA sequencer. The DNA sequence obtained can then be converted into digital message using encryption/decryption key (software key). In yet another embodiment the key is helpful in the secret & secure transfer of information particularly for spying and military purposes. It may also be helpful in anti-theft, anti- counterfeiting, product authentication, copyright infringements etc. Table 1. Comparison of present art with existing art

Example 1. Encryption and decryption of a textual message "CSIR" in terms of DNA bases may be defined as a) Generation of an array of 256 elements (unique 4-base per character i.e. ATGC, ATGA, ATGT, ATGG). These elements represent complete extended ASCII character set values. b) The input information is then encrypted character-by-character using array generated in step 1. The basis is ASCII values of each character is matched with the element no. of the array of step 1.
Encryption of the text "CSIR" in terms of DNA bases may be: TATGTTTCTATTTTAC where
C is represented by DNA sequence TATG
S is represented by DNA sequence TTTC
I is represented by DNA sequence TATT
R is represented by DNA sequence TTAC c) If the information overflows the limits i.e. it cannot be synthesized in a single piece or because of any other problem, then the encrypted sequence is fragmented in a number segments. d) Encrypted segment(s) is/are then flanked on each side with header and tail primers. e) Synthesis of encrypted sequence(s) is then carried out using DNA synthesizer. f) The synthesized DNA segment(s) is/are then be kept separately or can be mixed up with the enormous complex denatured DNA strands of genomic
DNA of human or other organism. As the human genome contains about 3x109 nucleotide pairs, fragmented & denatured human DNA provides a very complex background for storing encrypted DNA. g) The encrypted DNA can then be transported on paper, cloths, buttons or through any other medium.
Isolation decryption of above encrypted DNA sequence TATGTTTCTATTTTAC : a) Isolation and amplification of encrypted DNA is done using known primers flanked at each end by PCR method. b) Retrieved SM DNA is sequenced using DNA sequencer. c) Obtained sequence is interpreted (integrated if multi-segment before interpretation) using DNASTORE software. The basis for retrieval is a string of 4-bases each at a time is taken and matched with array as generated in step 1 of encryption and storage. The element number of matching value is taken and converted to its ASCII equivalent. If the retrieved sequence is TATGTTTCTATTTTAC. The Decryption would be: first 4-bases i.e. "TATG" would be in the array storage and encryption 67 = C next 4-bases i.e. "TTTC" would be in the array of storage and encryption 83 = S next 4-bases i.e. "TATT" would be in the array storage and encryption 73 = I next 4-bases i.e. "TTAC" would be in the array of encryption 67 = R Integration of above decrypted values in the same sequence as retrieved is "CSIR".
