Note:
The project will investigate the use of DNA as the core of an addressable, secure data storage system. Towards that end, the project team will pursue two aims. Aim 1 involves the use of CRISPR-technology to perform genome editing of cell lines for distributed information storage. They propose to investigate the properties of physically unclonable functions (PUFs) in a library of cell lines and characterize different genomic locations and assess the off-target effects of CRISPR editing. The second aim is to develop a prototype on-chip PUF probe. This probe will help determine whether a PUF key array can be implemented effectively.
