The next leap in computation: DNA

We began by storing data in synthetic DNA. Now we’re creating a whole new DNA-based computing platform.

“Computational capabilities will be what drive the adoption of DNA-based data platforms.”

Hyunjun Park, CEO of CATALOG

Bio-Safe DNA

All DNA used by CATALOG is evaluated in accordance with NSTC Guidelines governing biosecurity of synthetic DNA. CATALOG has employed the Common Mechanism provided by IBBIS to determine that its DNA contains no Sequences of Concern (SOC).

A world-class scientific advisory board

With leaders from industry and academia, our Scientific Advisory Board brings invaluable guidance as we make DNA-based computing commercially viable.

Meet Shannon, CATALOG’s prototype DNA writer

Shannon, CATALOG’s proof-of-concept prototype, uses a technology found in inkjet printers to write massive amounts of data in synthetic DNA. This device marks the beginning of a journey that will result in increasingly more compact and efficient systems for DNA-based computation and storage.
