The traditional way to use DNA as a storage medium is to encode the data in the sequence of bases in a synthesized strand, then use sequencing to retrieve the data. dNAM uses advancements in super-resolution microscopy (SRM)15 to access digital data stored in short oligonucleotide strands that are held together for imaging using DNA origami. In dNAM, non-volatile information is digitally encoded into specific combinations of single-stranded DNA, commonly known as staple strands, that can form DNA origami nanostructures when combined with a scaffold strand. In dNAM, writing their 20 character message "Data is in our DNA!\n" involved encoding it into 15 16-bit fountain code droplets then synthesizing two different types of DNA sequences: The key difference between dNAM and traditional DNA storage techniques is that dNAM reads data without sequencing the DNA.	./cache/blog-dshr-org-1474.html	./txt/blog-dshr-org-1474.txt
