## Macromolecule storage techniques - Several KBs have been stored successfully in DNA chains - Synthetic molecules also work - Technology is mostly limited by slow reading and writing speeds - Sequencing methods include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), enzyme-based approaches, and nanopore threading. - Using synthetic polymers allows the molecular structure to be tuned to facilitate sequencing using "routine analytical instruments". ## Synthesis of coded macromolecules - Solid-phase iterative chemistry
