DNA Vault

Store files as digital DNA sequences.

Encode any binary file into symbolic A/C/G/T sequences, then restore the exact original bytes. Research software prototype — no wet-lab synthesis.

About

DNA Vault converts bytes into symbolic DNA bases for research and software experimentation. It does not order oligos, run sequencers, or claim biological durability.

Hash and optionally compress / encrypt the file.
Chunk or fountain-encode, then map to DNA with a chosen codec.
Download a package; later decode to recover bit-identical bytes.
